Piracy sends "Go the [edit] to Sleep" to #1 on Amazon
Source: http://www.baycitizen.org/books/stor...ase-viral-pdf/

Quote:
A few weeks ago, The Bay Citizen looked at the furor around a provocatively-titled "children's book for adults" — the illustrated "Go the [edit] to Sleep," written by a Bay Area author, Adam Mansbach, currently on the East Coast for two-year stint at Rutgers University. Galleys have not been distributed, so the only form that people have seen the book thus far has been as an emailed document.

It is now at the #1 spot on Amazon's bestseller list.

Oh geez. I saw an image of the cover, and figured it was one of those PhotoShop'd jokes, or something off of Fark or SomethingAwful.
