The Book the Publishers Were Afraid to Touch

“Book publishing is a difficult business now, and no media is willing to promote a book that opposes homosexuality. . . . Economic self-interest is going to make it very tough for a publisher to say yes.”

“There would be a very concrete, though difficult to measure financial penalty to pay for publishing your book. . . . Practically speaking it could actually destroy the firm . . . .”

“Honestly, there is no NY publisher . . . who will touch this manuscript.”

“Unfortunately [he] spoke with his team and he doesn’t have anyone willing to take on Dr. Brown’s book.”

“I’d be better off burning the money in my fireplace. . . . . The economics of publishing a book like this are bleak.”

“Most thought the material was too controversial....all felt that the title would need to be changed.”
