I sent the six queries I had planned to send that day. Within 24 hours George had five responses (...). For contrast, under my own name, the same letter and pages sent 50 times had netted me a total of two manuscript requests. (...) I wanted to know more of how the Georges of the world live, so I sent more. Total data: George sent out 50 queries, and had his manuscript requested 17 times. He is eight and a half times better than me at writing the same book.
