A major film studio announced the release date of a movie based on a novel that was a bestseller when it was first
published but that has been out of print for nearly fifteen years. Hoping to capitalize on the anticipated success of the
movie, the publisher who owns the copyright on the novel plans to print a new edition that will be released the same
week the film premieres.
Each of the following, if true, supports the soundness of the publisher’s plan to capitalize on the success of the film
EXCEPT:
(A) Books with the words "now a major motion picture" printed on the cover generally sell better than books
without those words printed on the cover.
(B) Twenty years ago, the publisher created a limited edition of the novel, consisting of 5,000 copies each personally
signed by the now-deceased author, and all 5,000 copies were sold in less than 6 months after the books were
printed.
(C) Multiple novels by the same author experienced a brief spike in sales after major film studios released movies
based on those novels.
(D) Existing copies of the novel are hard to find and are often sold for prices up to 10 times higher than the price at
which the publisher plans to sell copies of the new edition.
(E) Many of the trailer advertisements for the new movie will state the name and author of the bestselling novel on
which the movie is based.
