No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide.

A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.

Popular music formed the soundtrack of my life.

Martin Scorsese

Movies are about escape.

George A. Romero
