Moments

[poliphilo]

We went into W.H. Smith- which used to be proper bookshop but now only sells books that are trendy- and they had two titles by Dr Peterson on the shelves- in the "Books that'll change your life" category. He's having his moment, isn't he?

Prince Harry's book is piled high and is retailing at half the publisher's price. Does this mean his moment has passed?

If what he really wants is for the world to leave him and his family alone, totally oversaturating the media landscape is a savvy move.

[poliphilo]

He can't let go of his celebrity. He wants the kicks but not the pricks...

[conuly]

Mmm. To be fair, he does seem to have some rather expensive security needs, and I'm not sure he has any other way to get the cash.

[poliphilo]

He probably needs the security. By revealing how many lives he took in Afghanistan he must have set himself up as a target for the Taliban.

It means they over published massively as they so often do.

When it fetches up in the remaindered mag 'Bibliophile' which we are subscribers to, I'll know it's come and gone.

[poliphilo]

I don't suppose that time is far away.

I did see someone say that the "half price" sticker is just a marketing ploy to make people think they've got a bargain and that was always intended as the real selling price.

[poliphilo]

Well, that's entirely possible.

Mind you, I have no intention of buying it at either price.

[heleninwales]

I have no interest in the royals whatsoever so won't be buying anything royalty related.
