It depends on if you are talking about the publishers slush pile and fanfic sites, or book stores. Despite some people's disdain for the publishing industry, they at least filtered out a good bit of the dreck that one now has to wade through at Amazon. Someone thought that those books had enough promise to invest a lot of money actually publishing them. Sure there are people who enjoy wading through the slush pile and fanfic sites. Me, I would like to be able to say, only show me books by major publishers, or books by authors who are on my favorite author list.
