The brilliance of "The Art of the Deal"

I've been reading Trump's “The Art of the Deal.” What a great book. In it he reveals one of his secrets to branding and promotion: “I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”

So I'd like to thank all of the readers who have made my book "Fantasy Fourteen" a bestseller. It's rare that satire is enjoyed by such a broad audience and the comic novel gets its acclaim in its day. But you are really smart people. Very intelligent readers.

I'm sure your great taste and acumen will force my next book "doccop" onto numerous bestsellers lists in the detective genre, crime genre, mass market, possibly nonfiction if only the factual elements are considered. I've been approached by some smart money people to float bonds against the future proceeds of this e-book. I'm inviting you savvy readers to not only enjoy my next book but to make a lot of money from it.
