Book Review Booty

Ay naku, when I used to review books, I used to buy them at A Different Bookstore. Now I don't because they only review potboilers and books sent to them. But New York Times recently featured the shags (promotional booties) managers give their book reviewers. Only because an NYT review from, say, Michiko Kakutani can make or break you. In fact, just being mentioned by her is enough for an obituary to some. For example, this wooden Trojan gift horse has the "Lost Books of the Odyssey" inside.

Imagine the gifts that Oprah gets.
