dumb book of the week iv

I wonder what goes on in the mind of a publisher when sizing up evaluating a book proposal. Wit? Market segmentation? TV appeal? Jerry Springer potential? Pitch to the pained population?

Riquette Hofstein’s Grow Hair Fast: 7 Steps to a New Head of Hair in 90 Days begins in dramatic fashion with cinematographic intent:

In the summer of 1991, high in the Tyrolean Alps of Northern Italy, a team of archeologists and other scientists retrieved the preserved body of a man buried in the glacial fields

I bet Riquette can almost smell Hollywood beckoning. Almost, but not quite.
