Questionable Literature just a Coincidence?

[Lilac]

Jennifer tells about her "bargain" discovery...<snicker, snicker>

<<<The Nancy Stouffer books.

Yup, they're such poor sellers that they're being sold in dollar 
stores with the no-name coloring books.

Poetic justice, ne?

Me being curious, and finding this absolutely hysterical (OK, I was 
standing in the isle screaming; I admit it), I picked up two: the 
famous _The Legend of Rah and the Muggles_ and _Larry and Lilly 
Potter: More Than Just Friends_.  They didn't have any copies of 
_Larry Potter and His Best Friend Lilly_, more's the pity.  There 
appear to be four books in what Stouffer calls the "Larry Potter 
Storybooks," of which three were there; I only picked up the one, not 
feeling like spending more than two dollars.

The letters (TM) are used all over both covers liberally.  These were 
published in 2001, but their purported dates of previous publication 
are displayed prominently inside the front covers.  The inside blurb 
for _Rah_ refers to "the real Muggles" more than once.  All very 
defensive, IMHO.>>>

Me:

I found "Larry Potter and his Friend Lilly" and "Larry Potter and Lilly- More Than Just Friends" (doesn't that title just give you a horrible mental image???) at MY local ALL-A-DOLLAR store as well!!!  I agree with everything you said in your post, except I didn't even spend the $2 for them.  It was bad enough looking at them, thankyouverymuch!  

I didn't notice the part about the overly blatant copywrite symbols all over the cover.  I did, however, notice the way the author chose to sign her name:

N.K. STOUFFER!   I mean, come on!  

Anyway, thanks for the laugh

~Lilac, who had more important things to spend $2 on, such as Harry Potter glasses and a mini-stuffed Hedwig.
