• What did you learn from this experience from a publishing perspective?
Kampmann: It was the opposite of [learning from it]. I applied everything I knew to this particular book. … Here is an odd situation where a smaller publisher that most people had never heard of before was able to do exactly what the big publishers do. That’s because the people who work here, the older ones, almost all have come out of the big publishing companies and have gone through this innumerable times. I was previously head of sales for Simon & Schuster—yes, a long time ago, but I don’t think S&S has changed all that much.
