Some business-book authors hire a marketing firm that purchases books ahead of the publication date, creating a spike in sales that helps titles be able to claim best-seller status.

Some of our best novelists have extremely visual styles, and great, faithful illustrations would only intensify the reader’s reactions to their writing. Via Luca Baptista

We are becoming a society that only wants to "see" not "read".

While some just look at pictures...and others read only text...the people who experience the best of the author's and illustrator's work are those who can bring about the uniquely wonderful marriage of the two. I think it is incumbent upon our generation to be sure that those proceeding us don't lose the richness to be gained from both. Mr. Sacks does an admirable job in making that point.

It's not about reading less; all the bogus complaints about "the Internet ruining reading" are silly. Magazines, for example, are doing quite well. Illustrations have been missing due to cost. Returning them is certainly a quality issue.
