21 Full Grown Elephants? That?s A Lot Of Books

The year 2005 saw 172,000 new books released in the United States, according to Bowker, the world?s leading provider of bibliographic information. The number of new titles dropped about 10% from the record high of 195,000 in 2004, but 172,000 titles is still quite a few books.

Dee Power, the co-author with Brian Hill, of "The Making of a Bestseller," puts this number into perspective. If the books were shelved side by side one would need two and three quarter miles of shelving. If the books were stacked one atop the other, they would reach almost nine times higher than the world?s tallest building, the Taipei 101, which measures 1,671 feet. To transport one copy of each title, the vehicle would have to be capable of hauling 86 tons or 21 full grown elephants. Laying the books down in a straight line would require a little over 16 miles of railroad tracks.

If a copy of each title was purchased at retail, the total expenditure would be enough to send one student to Harvard for 70 years. However, it would have only been enough to cover less than 20% of the cost of the most expensive diamond ever sold(A 100.10-carat, pear-shaped, "D" flawless diamond sold for $16,548,750, at Sotheby?s, Switzerland, on May 17, 1995.)

If each author received a $5000 advance, the total would nearly approach $1 billion. And most interestingly of all, if one author wrote all these books, consecutively, he or she, would have had to start writing during the time of Neanderthal Man, nearly 100,000 years ago.

How difficult is it to get a book published by a commercial publisher? Well the odds are better gambling in Las Vegas. Power and Hill surveyed over 60 literary agents. On the average these agents agreed to accept only a little more than 2 in 1000 of the authors who contacted them.

It has been estimated that 25 million people in the United States consider themselves writers and only 5% have been published anywhere. Ready for another dose of reality? Only 1% of manuscripts submitted to publishing houses are accepted for publication.

If 99% of all manuscripts submitted are rejected, by any standard, a writer whose book has been published has achieved a major milestone. However you look at it, 172,000 is a lot of new titles and a lot of happy authors.

Customer Review: Still the best

This is still the best comedy out there. I would recommand getting them before the take them off sale .

Customer Review: Honest Wrap Up

The 9th season of the most highly rated comedy series ever obviously strove to wrap things up in a way which would exemplify the character of the series and seemed to succeed in doing so with this pot pouri or episodes followed by the inevitable climax. This was not your father's television but it was cutting edge and took chances and maintained a bite to it while providing so many laughs and yet..

The Swell Season

The Swell Season
Frames front man Hansard has teamed up with classically trained Czech vocalist and pianist, Irglova to produce this album of affecting songs and compositions. From straight songs to piano instrumentals, "The Swell Season" affords an insight into a whole other side of Glen/The Frames, as well as offering a perfect introduction to this very talented newcomer. The record takes its name from author Josef Skvorecky's book of the same name. Set in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia, the story centers on one man's love of music and his pursuit of unattainable women as a country comes unglued. Like the book, the record deals with the pains and hopes of those struggling to make sense of their lives.

Customer Review: Can't stop listening to this music everty since I saw the movie "Once".

The movie "Once" is really great, the music from it even better. Glen Hansard in particular has a very moving emotional voice, Marketa Irglova is amazing. I can't wait for them to come Keller in April.

Customer Review: Once CD repeat

I love the Once soundtrack, but must agree that this CD is a disappointment and offers not enough new songs to purchase. If you've got the soundtrack, you've got enough.

Customer Review: Easy as the Pie My wife Just Made

My wife said she wanted one of these for her birthday. I found some boring looking plain vanilla clear acrylic models (from other companies and websites) but I thought this one generally looked more interesting, and also matched our wooden cabinets better.



It works great, and looks great. The installation was easy, and it comes with some spacers that help make sure it will screw in even to thin shelves (our bottom shelf is quite thin - the screws would have protruded up into the cabinet without the spacers). The only hard part of the installation is working upside down to do the pilot hole drilling, and then holding the unit flush while you put in the screws. If you have 2 people this would be a piece of cake, but I did it myself and it took about 10 minutes of holding screws in place while putting in the other screws - they kept wanting to drop out. I managed to get it installed before her birthday passed and that is a first for me.



Anyway, my wife loves it, and thats all that matters. If you'll be installing it yourself a magnetic screwdriver might be a lifesaver. Highly recommended.

The last time Randi Pupkin walked into a court of law, she sent a signal to herself that her days as a lawyer were ending. She carried her legal papers in a child's Dr. Seuss binder. It was her transition from a life of construction litigation to the world of art, and children, and damaged places where the two rarely connect.
