The thing is? I think the cover outrages me less than the response from Mr. Williams.
If he had bothered to couch his response in professional, businesslike language, I might have been much less angered.
Since you are far more of an expert than I am, let me ask you. Would changing *one* name on the cover list have affected the book being bought by B&N?
I totally do understand that there's a business aspect to this, and I understand that putting your bestsellers out front is just good business - but I also wonder if there's not some wiggle room.
