Midlist and beginner authors may not get book tours and the like - but they do get a sales team working to get their book in bookstores all across North America.
I'm not sure this is true anymore or will hold true for long. Publishers have laid off staff, including sales people. And bookstores are reducing their inventory and carrying fewer and fewer fiction authors and more toys/videos/knickknacks. The goal of getting their book "on the shelf" will be moot soon for most authors.
