A busy press weekend
By charles | December 30, 2008
There’s a huge article on the book in Friday’s LA Times. The piece is peppered throughout with five questions from the book, which I’m thrilled about because that’s really the best way for people to get a taste of the book. I’m including two here:
1. Yo Momma so _______, when you mail her a letter, you need two zip codes.
(A) diaphanous
(B) luminous
(C) ravenous
(D) grisly
(E) corpulent
2. At a Saks Fifth Avenue store, Winona Ryder examines four distinct blouses, five distinct dresses, and two distinct handbags. How many different combinations of items can she shoplift if she takes exactly one blouse, two dresses, and a handbag?
The reporter describes how he took the book to Fairfax High School for some quick student reaction. Initially, some students thought one joke was childish, but then the reporter describes how they quickly got more and more into the book. The reporter actually told me in person that by the end they were hogging the book from each other.

Anyway, overall the article was quite entertaining and it was fantastic exposure. Plus, the questions they printed really do give an excellent taste of the book, which is the most important thing. And actually it didn’t stop there. A shorter piece got picked up and distributed by UPI and it showed up in the Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch and a few other places as well. A great press week!
