I'm so glad they now print "A Novel" under the title of fancy new books they want us to take seriously. When I first saw a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird I thought it was an Archie comic. - ThreadSky

We might need more information. "A Novel. Do not eat."

I wish they’d label albums in a similar manner. Spent 45 minutes trying to read Dark Side Of The Moon the other day.

Tragic. We need as much help as they can give us.

The struggle is real

Not on the books themselves, but I've seen OCLC records for books with "utterly heartbreaking", "absolutely thrilling", "unputdownable" and similar after the title. #Library

My copy didn’t have a novel on it so it was an Archie comic . Anyway don’t underestimate the stupidity of people (ceo ad man and the like not the buyers) it sad really.

I'd read that.
Betty is Scout

Archie is ....Atticus?

I think we sometimes do this because the cover is a bit too cryptic otherwise.

This guy started it

Of course. Pete.

Love him to death but he made some strange choices in the 80s

Didn't he get caught with kid porn?

I believe he did get in a tanglement about 20 years ago when British cops operated a credit card porn sting. Swore his innocence, nothing found on his computers, and pled no contest to avoid serious charges.
