The Biggest Names in Books - Page 2

This is a serious challenge with an odd rationale. It is taken from "Nabokov's Favorite Word Is Mauve". Below are all 26 authors with at least 3 bestsellers in 2005-2014, ranked by the size of their names on book covers. They are ranked by the typical percentage of the cover their name takes up. I have chosen 3 works of each author for this challenge (the specific works used in the 'study' are not detailed in the book).
Median size of the author's name as % of the cover.
37%: Nora Roberts (aka J.D. Robb) - the BIG winner
