I'm currently working with my literary agent to pitch publishers on a LW/rationality book. Our initial attempts didn't work because the publishers didn't know what shelf the book would go on in the book stores. Now we are thinking of doing a rationality book for managers.

That reminds me of Nassim Taleb who purposefully inserted a fictional chapter in (The Black Swan) to mess with the book stores ideas of how to categories books (chapter 2).

It would be interesting to know how many books got prevented by publishers not wanting to publish books that don't clearly fit.
