This is how it all went down...
To begin with, we have an upcoming event with one sappy, smarmy bastard I won't name here. To illustrate: Mr. Narcissist's publisher came up a clever marketing plan that includes branded packages of 10 tissues ("because 5 won't be enough"). So, there's that.
Last week, the publisher convinced The Man to preorder and advertise the Golden Boy's new book, which is being released in December.
Well, in the process of some basic business, I discovered a little line on the "new" books cover: "Includes two complete novels". Some not so difficult investigative work unveiled that these two novels have both already been published.
The big rub? Both titles were published by His Greatness' previous publisher - a small paperback imprint. So the new title is just his new publisher grubbing for money off books we already have in stock.
Lesson learned: you don't mess with The Man.
