Behind the Scenes With Jan Pogue, Publisher of the Recent National Hit 'Morning Glory Farm'
No, none of this will go to her head, Pogue says. She is what she is—the publisher of "beautiful books about Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod." Here, she reveals to Book Business Extra the story behind her recent success and staying true to her company's mission:
Book Business Extra: Why do you think this particular title, "Morning Glory Farm," is selling so well?

So whenever we have visitors from, [for example], L.A., who come here on a regular basis [and] who go to Morning Glory—because everybody ends up at Morning Glory, everybody—they see the book, they buy the book, they take the book home, and they're showing it around. So then I get orders from there. ...
