"...As I recall, the Scholastic were concerned, not so much with the ability of audiences to understand or enjoy the book, as with their initial reaction on seeing the cover.... and were considering
how the title would affect the decision someone would make, on
picking up the book in a store for the first time. They may very
well have been right, as far as the USA was concerned."

Paula now:

I agree with you, David.  Let's face it, we Americans have more than a 50 year history of all day television, mass media, and dramatic advertising.  A "scholarly" word like philosopher isn't nearly as strong as an "action" work like sorcerer.
