The launch of "Harry Potter - Half Blood Prince" is the most successful book launch of all time. Most book marketers not directly involved lament about this, but one says that's the wrong
approach.
Book Marketing Expert Warren Whitlock suggests that the "Harry Potter Craze" is great for the book market in many ways.. "I encourage the authors I work with to model successes" said
Whitlock. "This is the most successful book launch ever, and full of innovation and lessons for us all"
Whitlock has announced a weblog (blog) to share the data he has collected, and to encourage discussion among authors and publishers.
"Every book marketing project this year has had to compete with the pre-sales of Harry Potter - Half Blood Prince. Instead of fighting Potter, we should be studying the process and using
the best new ideas to enhance our own promotions"
