And how would authors "get" actors to advertise their books by seeming to read them? Actors cost money to hire (a LOT of money). Not very practical. The only books publishers would pay actors to advertise are those that don't need the boost--the bestsellers that already exist. Publishers spend a teeny bit of money for promotion of most books.

PM, I just realized that I have no idea what you're responding to...

I was responding to your comment regarding how to increase readership.

I could expand my point and say that it's all about having persons/media of influence catching on and promoting.

I mentioned actors in the earlier post.

It's fair to suggest that this is beyond the realm of possibility but I mention it as who knows what will come of the suggestion.

Ah. Got it--I thought you were referring to the interview not the comments!
