A Trucker's Tale
Autor Ed Milleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iun 2023
Joins a successful market: A Trucker’s Tale has an overlapping audience of its closest comp, The Long Haul (HC 2017: 17,400 RTD, PB 2018: 14,500 RTD) and should achieve similar sales, also backlisting well. The PB will also join the market of books on adventurers exploring the US and the open road, which is widely successful today with titles such as Nowhere for Very Long , which has scanned 23,000 in its first eight months, and The Sun Is a Compass (HC 2019: 7,000 RTD, PB 2020: 7,800 RTD) continuing to sell well.
Timely Father’s Day and summer reading release: The new edition of A Trucker’s Tale is releasing in time for Father’s Day and is a perfect summer reading book.
Expert author: Ed Miller has spent sixty years in the automotive/trucking industry, having grown up in a family of truckers and continuing to work as a driver today. Few others have a lifetime’s worth of expertise on their subject, and very people know the ins and outs of trucking and have a wealth of stories to go along with it.
