There's such a thing as the
herd mentality.
However the publishers big publicity campaigns are wasted on me and many others.
How? The book
BLOCKBUSTER by Joe Schmoe gets a lot of publicity. On every TV station, Oprah, etc. Walk into a book store and there's a big stack of hard cover copies with the author, Joe Schmoe, himself signing covers.
Only $24.95, get em while there hot! No, I'll wait for the paperback.
Only
$24.95 $18.95, get em while there hot! Looks good but I'll wait.
A year later the paperback book comes out for $9.99. But I'm only buying ebooks and I've forgoten all about that BIG promotion a year ago.
