More on no judgement bookselling

I am reminded of this column on Elin Hilderbrand I wrote last year for the Manchester Cricket.

“Now, from the distance of a few years and having become a business owner responsible for my own bottom line, I’m not sure why we frown upon healthy sales.  What’s wrong, exactly, with selling millions of books? Isn’t that—dare I say it—part of the point? Not just the revenue, but connecting with thousands and thousands of people. People who come up to Elin and tell her they changed her life, that her books mean so much to them. There are tears. I saw it happen, and that was just one average event on one average night in the life of Elin Hilderbrand.”
