Book teasers are the worst…

By Vick Mickunas | Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 10:27 PM

Book teasers can drive a reviewer wild. I got this postcard in the mail. It says “It’s Super”.

Now, if it was really super it should have an exclamation point, right? “It’s Super!”. But it doesn’t.

Who sent it? There is no identifying characteristic except for the message: COMING IN JULY 2010. OK. And there is a postmark: 10019. New York. That would be New York City. Home of book publishing. Former home of book publishing hype.

Still trying. I guess. (yawn). They did pay letter rate though! 44 cents! I’m impressed!
