She Sold A Lot Of Books. They Weren't All Actually Read, But They Were Sold
-
Oprah's syndication "retirement" has people looking back on her influence in a lot of areas, but she really had an impact on publishing. It wasn't just the Book Club. Just a mention or a guest shot by an author meant huge sales. A friend of mine got a number-one bestseller out of an appearance on her show -- it worked. And if it meant people read more, even if some of those books weren't necessarily all that great, well, that's more than anyone else is doing to keep the publishing business going. (USA Today)
