Umm . . . Time for Version Two??
We sell a pair of wonderful books published by Chronicle Books - Listography and My Listography. They are basically blank books with lists to fill in - Listography, the original. has pages for room-mates, movies, past loves, favorite books, and it was so popular that they came out with "My Listography," a version aimed at those who still lived at home with Mom and Dad. I was enthusiastically recommending it to a customer today as a great idea for a ten year old girl and as I flipped through the pages, showing her the contents I came across "People I Would Like to Meet." The example of such a person: Tiger Woods. Whoops! I don't think Tiger Woods is a very good example of anyone a ten year old girl would like to meet these days. I think Chronicle Books is going to have to do a version two and get him off that page. It's just one page in the book . . still . . . it definitely made me uncomfortable . . . quite the example of "how far the mighty have fallen." My question - should we keep selling it because of all the other great pages . . . or wait for My Listography, Version 2??
