The Book's The Thing
There's an interesting article over at Publisher's Weekly about the emerging market for video game tie-in books. They're more than a gimmick (as the article makes clear), and they're a reasonable source of income, as well:
Sales for Halo and Resident Evil sell about a third of what the biggest science fiction titles, like those by Terry Goodkind or Robert Jordan, do, while second-tier titles, such as Orson Scott Card's novels or the Dune series, sell only twice as much.
I wouldn't have considered Card as 'second-tier'... but maybe he is, from a sales standpoint. In any case, swing by and read the piece! Thanks to Eric Trautmann for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:08:01 UTC)
