    The point of the post is to sell her books.
    She has rent to pay

    I liked the PDF file she sent today. I’ll have to finally read my copy of her book that I bought in August. I’ll take it for the drive to LA, April 1. I’ve got meetings with my new manager (who I mentioned MO to yesterday) agents (whose receptionists all get flowers) LA’s top lawyer and RealD.

    Hollywood…if it wasn’t for her father!

    I know, but this makes it fresh!
    “My book is out! YEAH!”

    When her book first came out last year, a lot of today’s current readers were mere girls and boys. Internet years are like dog years. iPhone years are even higher ratios. I forget…12:1?

    BTW, congratulations on YOUR Youtube experience…41,000 views of cats is pretty cool! I hope the Googlers have you signed up for cat food and cat goodies and you’re getting a split of click revenue like OO is. Check out the little site I put together to help her last year and you might get some more ideas:

    Some people complained about the oversimplified language used in Marina’s videos. The book is not the case, however; it’s been written using a full-blown, literary, idiomatic, quite sophisticated and, of course, witty language; the style of narration is completely different than on Youtube (like

    “The mental connection between the proud, strutting bird and the haughy, jutting angle of (…) persisted from Roman times well into the Middle Ages (…) because it is wired deeply into the collective human subconscious”, page 169

    ). I venture to say that the book reveals a completely different part of Marina’s mind than the videos does, if someone hasn’t read the book yet, he or she may be slightly taken aback by it, in the positive sense.

    I think the most important asset of the book is that the text’s good enough to draw attention away from the photos :!: :grin:

    I have the book, and have read it several times. Lady M did a great job with this collection. It is very informative, making sense of some those “hmmm” words. It is very well written, concise, yet easy to read. Of course, Marina’s sense of humor keeps poking through; I seem to get a better feel for Marina as a person from the book, than I do from the videos.

    Oh yeah, it also has some pretty cool pics…

    I bought the book the minute it came out. It is a treasure. I bet the value increases with time.
