Yup, GA, it's considered thoroughly modern to loudly express anti-royalist views and suggest hgher values (I'm simply anti-royalist). Most nay-sayers, though, will have been glued to their TVs yesterday.
Our own wee gag went down as something of a breath of fresh air. Whether that will result in sales or not is another question, but -- as I expected -- the headline itself was enough was enough to attract a huge increase in traffic to the blog, the site and the bookstore, so at least the title and blurb were seen.
And that's the first battle won. I've been professionally involved in mass media promotion for 45+ years and the toughest thing is to ecourage folks to read beyond the headline. Pretty well all's fair in love and promo -- just as long as nobody's hurt. Cheers. Neil
