Yes, we have the book. And my cataloger, who is an artist herself, had
no qualms about ripping right into the packaging. Really, it's just
another advertising gimmick. The book covers 100 artists, so you know
none of them had anything to do with the packaging.
I just wish we subscribed to the bubblegum magazine.
