I’m talking about Seabiscuit and The Boys in the Boat. What I mean is, they’re put forth by excellent writers they focus upon riveting topics that-if lightning strikes-might very well capture the attention of thousands upon thousands of readers. In between these two disparate lands are books that could sell. It’s Dustin Diamond, it’s nearly two decades after his mediocre TV show’s non-prime, it’s a cover straight out of Quark XPress. Odds of success: 100 percent.Įxample 2: Dustin Diamond’s “Behind the Bell” was going to shit the bed. It’s a legend, it’s a legendary writer, it’s football, it’s Green Bay. There are certain books that are guaranteed to sell, and there are certain books that a guaranteed non-sells.Įxample: David Maraniss’ amazing biography on Vince Lombardi was going to do enormous numbers.
