Worth a Kodak moment

Was browsing around Bound Bookshop in QC (a great second-hand bookstore, leave your contact details if you want a particular copy that they don't have and they'll call you when they get one) when I spotted this:

At five hundred bucks, not exactly a steal, ain't it?

I leafed through the pages and I realized there was really no way I'd part with the money left in my wallet for this bright-yellow cover of a book. I'm no critic, but a peek inside gave me visions of a very angry woman (e.g., more than a few sentences and phrases in uppercase letters, swearing and name-calling in the vernacular, the Tulfos being the sons of Satan, etc.) not unlike a certain top-notch lawyer who supposedly eats death threats for breakfast. I just don't like authors getting emotional.

Incidentally, Ms. Santos couldn't get much of it circulated as major bookstores such as National, and even the UP Press, refused to sell the book.

By the way, I don't like the Tulfos, either. Them brothers and Richard Gomez go together like peas in a pod.
