In the stores for barely two months and already marked down 50%.

(It's 50% here, too.)

That means the publisher and booksellers can't give it away at the usual retail price -- which means, I guess, that America's taste in food and political families is better than we thought.

By the way, I've taken this book off store shelves twice, and each time it fell open to the recipe for "Cheese Puff Delights." Perfect.
