From the Paper:
"Publishing is a business dependent on the vagaries of public taste, and the best-seller list is the goal for every book published. Achieving sales sufficient to reach the best-seller list is difficult, and it seems to many people like only certain kinds of books get on that list, books with a broad appeal, certainly, which also might mean books that appeal to the sort of "lowest common denominator" that rules television. Yet, clearly this is not the case, since books of widely divergent types on subjects that might be considered difficult and even esoteric have become major best-sellers. The four books discussed here are all non-fiction books but are also from very different fields, and none of them involves subject matter that can be considered of broad appeal on its face or of immediate interest in the way a book on a current subject might be. Donald R."
