The astronaut in the moonwalk parodying the words of JFK:

One big book for man
One literary masterpiece for mankind

There looks to be an alternative cover to TMP?

>2 lriley: A condensed cover for various computer generated applications. I think these short videos are the way to go. I will begin tweeting them individually to targeted folks; though some folks will get the whole playlist. I'm also in the process of making more. I've got one where I am currently using actual audio and video clips from Trump to have him make derogatory comments about the book in light of Cuba and immigration and it will end up with him banning the book even though he bigly likes the fact that it is a big book. The idea is to get Trump people to pick it up and maybe Trump himself. That one will take a long time to create, a few days probably; the others were all quick hits - 30 minutes a piece.

I don't know if you know it Peter but there is a Donald Trump who is a member of Tropic of Ideas. No doubt a spoof played by some other member of the group but he makes appearances now and again.

But anyway your ideas sounds pretty hilarious to me. The LT friend of mine John (the one from Ottawa) was asking about Riverboat's site the other day so I emailed it to him. Hopefully he buys whatever's available. I know he belongs to a book club in Ottawa and every year they make up a list of books (one a month I think) to review for the year.
