This kids book came out a couple weeks ago. After a few complaints that it was racist all booksellers pulled it--Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc.
Cost $10 initially Now it is up to over $150 on eBay and it is selling. Amazing that a few complaints increased the profit. A minor kids book
that probably would have been unknown is now a collectors item. They should have just complained that all that sugar in the cake makes kids
fat and rots teeth. Probably worth only $5 now. Watch out which bandwagon you jump on. Wheels may fall off.
A Birthday Cake for George Washington a children picture book. "Everyone is buzzing about the president's birthday! Especially George Washington's servants, who scurry around the kitchen preparing to make this the best celebration ever. Oh, how George Washington loves his cake! And, oh, how he depends on Hercules, his head chef, to make it for him. Hercules, a slave, takes great pride in baking the president's cake. But this year there is one problem--they are out of sugar."
