Well, you’d have to ask Amy Krouse Rosenthal. That’s a quote from her book, not my own words.

I actually work at EB. What’s the name of the friend who supposedly is responsible for this? I think the spine of Volume 8 has been the same for quite some time; and just FYI, most people in the office are aware of the bit.

AJ would of LOVED THAT. You should email him, telling him how much you enjoyed the book then lay that one on him.

ok, it is very subtle humor that the editor did not catch right away.
Also, if you have not watched a lot of Seinfeld or not familiar with French, you may not get it. Menage–Ottawa when said fast enough sounds like the french expression “mÃ©nages Ã trois” which when translated into english you get “external triangle” and if you know the stereotype of french people and their culture you may begin to put the pieces together. If you need any further information, go to IMDB and look at Stephen Baldwin’s 1994 movie where he played the character Stuart. Also, I just found out there is an “actress” named Menage Trois with an impressive film career.
