I was a parent Of two boys during that chapter and marinating in kids. I remember I got turned down by LEGO when I first went to them for a license to do a book but the boys told me not to take no for an answer. We ended up doing a deal because I pretty much had to. Btw, when Klutz was only about ten minutes old, I got a note from a scientist describing a little book he’d written on how to solve a new puzzle that was just getting traction. I turned it down because I figured any puzzle that was so hard people needed a book to solve it would never take off. His book sold 8 million copies later that year when he sold it to a big NY publisher. I’m still not sure where my logic went wrong. Does anybody still have a copy? The Simple Solution to the Rubik’s Cube by J. Nourse?
- gowld 6y agoLogic like "you can't sell book to teach things that are hard" is true relative to the popularity of casual nonfict and fiction, but not within the niche of people who like learning things. Why would Rubik's cube be different from juggling?
