A small-time publisher puts out a book that’s about Beverly Hills from 1930 to 2005. The publisher already put out a book about Beverly Hills’ founding and first few decades. So:

All right, the success that fosters sequels is evident. I’ll grant that. But what an odd way of dragging success into the conversation. A hit film can have a sequel. Therefore, the copy treats “sequel” as a synonym for movie success. But it isn’t, so the writer then has to think of a way to mention “success” directly (“the success that fosters them”). And the whole time the writer knows he/she is being clever because the book is a sequel and “sequel” is a movie term.
