As usual the details will matter a lot (format, price...) but as a general idea it's great news.

I guess the criticism the ManBooker prize came upon this year (winner which almost nobody read - Nielsen figures showed about 3k hc and 400 pb sold, and most likely a lot of that were library sales) stung.
