India Amos, a book interior designer, details the behind-the-scenes work in putting that manuscript into saleable order. Along with her sneak peek, she drops a disturbing fact-- most readers do not get past page 18 in a book they've purchased.

Thanks for linking!

I wouldn't call that 18-page thing a fact; it's more of an unsubstantiated allegation. A ton of people have linked to that page of stats, and a ton of other people have complained that many of the figures aren't adequately sourced.
