So now NY Times is in the business of publishing "teasers" to incite people to buy this guy's book? I hope he is giving them a royalty on future sales.

- jimhart3000 13y agoThis is long established practice in the publishing business - publications getting exclusive excerpting rights to upcoming big books. Lewis's name can help move some issues of the Times, and the exposure there helps move some books. Lewis also has a long history with the Times magazine, so it's unsurprising to see them get excerpt rights.
