>From The Bookseller 8 Nov 2002:

"The annual round of publishers' book presentations is usually judged on =
the length of the spiel; the standard of the lunch; and the quality of the =
goody bag.  My colleagues who attended a Dorling-Kindersley presentation =
last week were more than pleasantly surprised to find in their bags some =
sex dice (DK publishes Anne Hooper's 'Sexopedia' in January), a bottle of =
10-year old port, and a camera. 'That's a whole evening's entertainment,' =
one noted. 'No books though,' a slightly wiser head pointed out."

Ah, the English . . .
