I admit to being surprised that a commercial publisher would reject a
"possibly best selling book" for any reason at all -- other than, perhaps,
libel. And I'd be shocked if we upgraded "possibly" to "probably".
Doesn't a for-profit publisher have a primary responsibility to the
shareholders and employees ?
Does "Little, Brown and Company " (who published "Outliers") have an
exceptionally bad reputation ?
As a reader -- I admit that I never pay any attention to the name of the
publisher when selecting a non-fiction book for study.
Should I ?
****************
If he said, "Aw, the hell with revealing everything I came up with
during research that contradicts my yummy thesis that will appeal to the
mediocre masses and so sell a lot of books," I would have said, "Then, Aw the
hell with your book."
He says some interesting things in the book, and he says them articulately,
but they are overwhelmed by the falseness of too much else. Don't tell me I
wouldn't reject a possibly bestselling book for a reason like that: I've done
it.
And I'm not alone. The number of fascinating but totally bogus Kennedy
assassination books that have rejected by publishers is very large.
