Adam Rothberg Quotations

We're in favor of any program that can give our books more exposure.

We've always believed in Dan Brown's exceptional talent as an author. Everyone in publishing knows that sometimes it takes three or more books to reach critical mass and we're happy to have ultimately sold millions of copies of his books.

We feel like we're offering a service and the immediate gratification to order the book right there and then.

We are very, very bullish on the prospects for the electronic book. I don't think our projections are as optimistic as Microsoft's, but we definitely see it happening and being a substantial part of our future business. It could radically alter the economics of publishing. It will change the manufacture-ship-get returns model. You don't have to manufacturer five to sell three.

This is the interesting part of this -- the marketplace will decide what is preferred format.

I'm not sure if I buy that, ... This is clearly another issue on our plate now that we're either going to have to deal with or just live with.
