Many of them are ghost written too! It is only the name that makes the money in many cases. A recently famous female politician's was totally ghostwritten, with a credit in fact in record time!
Made a pile of $$ too.
Many of the tried and true authors are having ghost writers now, which explains the lack of quality that can been seen in many popular books from many mega authors.
You know the Margaret Truman mysteries? They are typically thought to have had ghost writers.

And Patterson's now have second authors listed finally, but I stopped reading him long ago...as his quality and content deteriorates markedly over the last few years.
(oh and BTW... some studies in the medical arena are ghostwritten too, some without permission using famous doctors...it is becoming quite the scandal now!)
