The Deets

I ate dinner with a group of friends in Vancouver the other night in the front window of a tapas restaurant. While grazing on various dishes, a homeless guy kept walking up to the window with various things he’d stolen from neighboring businesses. This included potted plants, small jewelery, and this book:

After a couple glasses of wine, we found this particularly funny. What kind of book on giving head has a cover image like that?

I hopped outside to take a closer look. Strangely, the book was filled with religious poetry.

One of the cool things about visiting a bricks & mortar book store is the browsing. You never know what you’ll run into in the aisles. For example, I found an intriguing book written by the wife of country singer Alan Jackson that I hadn’t heard of before.

Somehow I don’t think I’ll ever be the “him” in a book titled, “It’s All About Him.”

We don’t practice “traditional family values” like that around the Kohler household.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember how I ended up here, but regardless, it’s worth checking this out.

Garrick cites Seth Godin on this. Sounds right.

Warning: if you visited the Grand Canyon over the past three years and bought a book about the Grand Canyon at the bookstore called Grand Canyon: A Different Tale, there’s a good change you’re geologically challenged:

HOW OLD IS THE GRAND CANYON? PARK SERVICE WON’T SAY

“In August 2003, Park Superintendent Joe Alston attempted to block the sale at park bookstores of Grand Canyon: A Different View by Tom Vail, a book claiming the Canyon developed on a biblical rather than an evolutionary time scale. NPS Headquarters, however, intervened and overruled Alston. To quiet the resulting furor, NPS Chief of Communications David Barna told reporters and members of Congress that there would be a high-level policy review of the issue.

According to a recent NPS response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by PEER, no such review was ever requested, let alone conducted or completed.”

We wouldn’t want to offend people ageologists (people who don’t believe is geology) by pulling book that supports their ageological opinions over facts, would we?
