Parody Book Ad

Not quite on-topic, but the subject book is 1936 so it's close enough.

This spoof ad appeared on eB** over the weekend: http://www.ftldesign.com/bookad/

Having no sense of humour whatosever, eB** killed the ad, but I had captured it and (with the seller's permission) put a copy on my website.

If you've ever bought books on eB**, and even if you haven't, you should get a laugh from this. Make sure you don't miss the white-on-white hidden text at the end - position your mouse pointer just after the counter, then left-click and hold and drag the mouse pointer to the end of the ad.

On topic or not, it was hilarious.

Bill, Thanks for posting that. It was so funny, I wonder how many bids he would have gotten? Who said 'There's one born every day'? or something like that. Doris

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

That was great, Bill. I had to forward that to a book seller friend of mine... jc

Just when you find an honest dealer with a sense of humor, yabe kills them off.

Great ad.
