Actually in my way of thinking, it is not the publisher who should help to sift and winnow the good stuff from the bad. It should be up to the buying public to make this determination. And now, with ebooks and the ability to self publish, it is even more so. One good thing (or bad depending on how you look at it) that should come of this is we should see more of the author's vision without them having to filter in through the eyes or whim of a publisher.
