Thank you so much for this! It's spot-on (I didn't need to tell you that) and helps me reinforce what I know, and that I actually do know things! FWIW, I was in-house for the last 10 years and never saw a list of big books coming from a distributor, but I didn't work for a Big 5.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about release day sales for Britney compared to It Starts with Us (800,000)! Coho is such a major author and to the literary side of publishing (where I live), she’s either unknown or dismissed

It’s crazy to dismiss CoHo because the revenue her books bring it make other acquisitions possible!
