Could that have been anyone other than the Dalai Lama?
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoPossibly but why would it cost 7 figures to publish a Dalai Lama book?
- IncRnd 4y agoI imagine there is a lot more than just publishing costs, such as advances to obtain a particular author (and audience), marketing costs, etc.
- ISL 4y agoThere are plenty of evangelicals that might tempt a publisher.
- kar5pt 4y agoYes, there's tons of spiritual leaders that could convince a publisher to spend that much on publishing.
