> Franken's book.

Typically Canadian - gentle folk:
After seeing so many approving comments on Franken's book "LIES  And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them"  from the discerning minds of this list, I went to our fine locally owned bookstore to obtain a copy.   The charmingly Canadian less than middle aged bookseller commented that the book was out of stock again and was being reordered.  A day later when some arrived and I was making the purchase at the counter, I noticed that in handling the book, only her finger tips quickly touched the bold jacket with its big shocking red and yellow letters on a dark ground.   As she finished the sale, she commented aside to me, quietly under her breath, "I don't think I could buy a book with a title like that!"
