Question: If a book about failures doesn't sell is it a success!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A book about failures would basically be a book on how to succeed, so if it didn't sell, that would mean that it never got its point across!. So that would make it a failure as a book, but a success in talking about how not to fail!. It would be illustrating how to fail, instead of succeed!. That would be ironic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it actually depends on whether it was intended to be a success or not
for example
i wrote the book and expected it to make me profit and it didn't sell!.!.!.then it would be a failure
if it did make profit it would be a success
however
if i wrote the book of failure and i intended it to fail and it didn't sale then it would be a success!.
and if it was a success then it would be a failure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

lol!.!.!. Yes in that its own nihilism has been proven correct!. No in that the intention of immortalising ones failing within a book for public delectation only for the book to be a non starter is undeniably a failure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

do your book are all fail to sell!?!?you must have target!.!.!.about time limit to sell,money back and others!.!.!.!.not all must be sell immediatly!.!.!.if your sell pass then your target,we can say that are success!.!.!.!.thats all must be consider before begin!Www@QuestionHome@Com

A book about all kinds of failures would be horrendously long!. No wonder the thing didn't sell!. I wouldn't want to read a ten billion page book about others peoples screw ups, but hey that's me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

its a failure because it would've failed to teach its potential readers how to avoid the failures mentioned in the bookWww@QuestionHome@Com

Nope
Even a book about failures isn't a success unless it sells!.
