- il 16y agoI think the numbers are the best part of the article, refreshingly candid. When a startup posts its revenue/traffic numbers it is lauded for honesty. The same should apply to this post. It seems that books are like startups- unless you hit a huge home run, you really shouldn't be doing it for the money.
