Dress Your Books

Worried about reading O. J.’s If I Did It in public? Worried about selling it in public?

Worry no more, with Book-Frocks you can shamelessly read or sell whatever you want wherever you want.

“The covers fit any standard size trade-paper book, and even the extra tall/large ones. For you poetry lovers, the button closure keeps skinny ones from slippin about. Perfect to take with you on the bus, or to your favorite cafe, or to disguise the fact that you’re reading.”

This might be just what the doctor ordered for Barnes and Noble. They already stuck their foot in their mouths by saying they weren’t going to carry the books in their stores. It now seems that it was merely a tactic to increase demand.

When was the last time there has been a book with so much pre-publicity that wasn’t a bestseller?

When was the last time BN decided not to sell a bestseller in their stores?

Maybe by wrapping each copy in a dress they can ease the guilt of greed.
