Description for Sales People

The second new title in the relaunch of the In Their Own Words quotation book series, redesigned in an aesthetically minded, gift-worthy package. The small format makes this book a perfect register-side add-on purchase. Agate B2's In Their Own Words series has sold more than 180,000 copies to date. This new edition builds on the overwhelming success of previous In Their Own Words series titles, such as the New York Times bestseller I, Steve: Steve Jobs In His Own Words and the Los Angeles Times bestseller Ruth Bader Ginsburg: In Her Own Words . More than 300 quotes from Taylor Swift, one of the bestselling music artists of all time. Swift has emerged as a cultural icon and thought leader whose legions of fans are loyal and enthusiastic. In 2018, she was named the most influential person on Twitter, though she only tweeted 13 times; her Reputation Stadium Tour grossed $266.1 million, the highest-grossing tour in US history; and she encouraged at least 65,000 fans to register to vote in the 2018 midterms in only 24 hours. Few other books detail Swift's own words and perspective on such a wide variety of subjects.
