This will be a very interesting and historic publishing event. One
thing it could focus on is the mind of an Editor:
read the publication history and you will learn how MOCKINGBIRD would
not be MOCKINGBIRD without him.
He is the one who told her that it should be her pov. With which we
readers could feel sympathy (young) while we identify.
It was a brilliant COMMMERCIAL decision.

YET, it may not have been published by Lippincott as, basically, the
whole SALES AND MARKETING department (but for the heroically honorable
SALES DIRECTOR) said
it would not sell...'we can't sell a copy in the South", etc....

but that SALES DIRECTOR said, "I don't care if we don't sell any", we
should publish it because....MATTERS.

Lippincott was the publisher of V. as we may have forgotten.

Sales will BE SO HUGE....the advance selling and hyping will be all
over everything until Bastille Day....this is ALL OVER my FB, twitter
feed and Monroe would not miss it,
of course....

Will Day One, Two sales rival Harry Potter's 10+ Millions?
