I believe 'Lean In' has the power to change not only our outlook but also the world and that it will become a touchstone publication for a generation of women.

I have, from time to time, stopped using it for books, when they pissed me off about something - the negotiation with Hachette, for instance. I thought that was outrageous bullying, and I discontinued using Amazon for books. I did use it for socks, but I didn't use it to buy books.

John Grisham is one of the greatest storytellers of all time.

A good part of the work is just reading a manuscript and coming to the office. I can't imagine wanting to even read an article about book publishing.

A blurb might bring a reader to a book, but then the book itself has to do the rest of the work.

Dispatches' is one of the seminal works of the twentieth century and the most brilliant treatment of war and men I have ever read.

You do not give a great biographer a timetable. You let them do their work and, in due course, publish it.
