The publication of 'The Colorado Kid' represents a big step forward for us, ... With a first printing of nearly one million copies, it's by far the biggest book we've ever published, quite possibly the biggest [distributor] Dorchester has ever published as well.

Some of our students draw their own illustrations and others use photos or other pictures to illustrate their book. We have no guidelines that say a book has to be done a certain way. And no books are turned down; every book we received is published.

I just put it on the site for anyone to enjoy. Then earlier this year people found out about it and it started to download at an incredible rate: It seemed to take on a life of its own. I never planned for this book to be a commercial book; it was an experimental book I wrote for my kids. I'm just thrilled people are enjoying it.

Jag tror inte någon bra bok är baserad på fakta. Dåliga böcker handlar om saker författaren redan visste innan han skrev dem.

I don't think any good book is based on factual experience. Bad books are about things the writer already knew before he wrote them.

I do feel heartsick that the inequalities, if anything, are worse today than they were when I wrote 'Savage Inequalities,' and that segregation is now back at the point where it was when I published my first book,

There is some wonderful material that ended up on the cutting-room floor because the story is a very focused story. There wasn't room to go into digressions with the Red Sox and the Blue Jays.

The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he's written it.
