Bearing Up Remarkably Well

It Takes One To Tango

A British entrepreneur is selling what is believed to be the world's most expensive book - for £3 million. Roger Shashoua is offering a diamond-encrusted edition of his new book `Dancing With The Bear'. He says Russian tycoons are the target readers for the made-to-order book which features more than 600 flawless diamonds. But I figure he was inspired by Deborah Gamble's Love Is Bearing All or by Bob T Bear's The Dance Of The Bear. What do you reckon?

Has to be one of the biggest sucker traps in history.

And I don't think any fiendishly wealthy Russian on the face of the planet is that dumb.

An edition of "Vegemite Vindaloo" in platinum letters on sheets of gold, punctuation marks being shards of diamond filigree'd in - now if you're giving a few of those away free, I have my sleeping bag and my thermos, I'm first in the queue.

Wonder if that book really exists. Anyway, that guy's getting worldwide publicity without spending a penny! :-)
