Did you know that I can get any author that has a print book out at Barnes and Noble? Now yes I may have to special order but if they get enough orders they will stock the book.

By the way, I can tell you for a fact that not all brick and mortar stores stock all new releases even a big name author that is traditionally published. I know this because I was looking for a very specific new release.

Now please answer my question. I want to know how many books Random puts out a year. I know only a very select few actually get promoted not just thrown on a shelf.
Let's see in the last couple of years, what maybe a dozen?

Ask Random House. Are you seriously claiming that Random House has only marketed a dozen books over the last couple of years? I think you are letting your Internet Hyperbole Drive (IHD) get away from you.
