I started re-reading Andy Grove’s High Output Management on Monday to
celebrate? (The celebration was not particularly intentional.)

There has been a bit of coverage lately in the bits of the web that I read of
the really minimal sales of most books (in the US, because that’s where a
an antitrust case revealed the details). It’s a fascinating picture, quite a
hit-driven economy, lots of money lost on loads of books.

https://www.elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-books is quite a good write-up.
