Okay....but what about the blurb question? In your scenario about the author of Crichton is an Idiot, you continually mention that said book has no blurbs as if this is meaningful...but how meaningful is it in the process? We are in a theoretical deal in your post where the book has already been bought by your theoretical editor, so in figuring the P&L what kind of weight to the blurbs carry?
