        Having your name in bigger writing than the title reveals a lot about a persons ego

        perhaps reveals more about the esteem of the author.

        If the author had enough esteem then there would be no need to put the name in such a big font. In this case I think the opposite is true, that the author wants to get esteem/be known

        Your publishers are shrewd and enjoy the prospect of cold, hard cash. And I enjoy the prospect of reading your latest book much sooner!

        Great news. I'm somewhat desperate for new reading material. I've pretty much covered all of the classic and modern stuff.
