REVIEWS

One of my marketing approaches for MINYAN was to send the following postcard to about 125 Jewish newspapers and magazines:

Dear Mr. Big Shot Editor,

What, it would kill you to review my son's book? Such a writer he is, I can't begin to tell you. it won a fancy literary prize no less. You want a copy, drop him an e-mail already, I'm not getting any younger. What, it would hurt to give a mother a little nachas?

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sobel
