Hmm... So all the backlist are books that sold only a few copies... and any new book that
a publisher puts out is destined to sell millions of copies, right? There is no risk for even
a totally unknown new book? Weren't a number of the backlisted books quite successful,
in their day? Wouldn't there be some greater interest in the backlisted earlier works of an author who had a few very successful books later in their career? In fact, might there be less risk to bring back a good selling story from the backlist than to tryout a new author?

Luck;
Ken
