Ok - check this out.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caille linked to a really interesting page about puffery - the blurbs used to sell books and how insane and/or inane some of them are. And it really was very enjoyable. However, the crucial part is this quote from an article written by Sam Leith in the London Telegraph.
The writer and self-publicist Toby Young's memoir of New York, How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, boasted the following quotes on the UK first edition. "This man, Toby Young, is a rat and a snake and, to hear some tell it, also a raccoon. He deserves all these nasty blurbs," wrote Dave Eggers
Yes, the emphasis is mine. However - can I tell you how vindicated I feel? And relieved that the message of raccoon evil is being spread far and ride! The world is becoming wise to the danger. Join me in this day of celebration!
Merry January everybody!
*hugs to all who want 'em*
