That's just ridiculous.

Look at this Harper Perennial book ad that's running in N+1 magazine:

Crazy. I mean, who's going to buy a book just because some marketing yokel stuck a kitten on it? Am I right, people?

By the way, if you haven't seen my Cute! blog, it's a great introduction to the material in my new book, Cute! A Guide to All Things Adorable. Thank you.
