When I see a newspaper headline like the one above my heart immediately sinks with the publicist’s fear that the book in question is one of our titles. Whew! Thankfully, the focus of Jeff Salamon’s ire is not on our list. But, his review is pretty entertaining.

But Smith’s biggest problem is the precise opposite of pretentiousness: He’s a born publicist. Iggy and the Stooges, he tells us, were “the first true punk band.” Then, 28 pages later, “The Ramones were the first true punk band.” People, let’s keep our press releases straight!

Jeff, you know us too well.
