• What was the editorial/production process like for this book?
Kampmann:… We had a month to do it. We signed [the deal] on the 11th of August, and the books were shipped on the 12th of September, the day before “Oprah.” … We did it because this is a great little company, and the truth of the matter is, nobody dropped the ball. … To me, it showed what the potential of an independent publisher is …. We shipped 150,000 [copies] the first week, which was our [initial] printing, and we went back for one more printing of 50,000, [which] shipped in early October. And we got to No. 2 on the New York Times Best-Seller List.
