Thanks George -- actually, this is *exactly* the kind of info my client is
looking for, and I'll forward your email to them. They are not afraid to
spend money, as TLC is a very expensive production, but are trying to get a
handle on how much more venture capital money to raise. These same guys
were involved with producing Seventh Guest, which was a bestseller based
purely on word of mouth. Now we're looking at how to create that "word of
mouth" on the Net. They do have a fulltime promotions person, so that's a
start.
