Book shelf
Monica Lewinsky’s tell-all book about her affair with the U. S. President has, for one Winnipeg Chapters outlet, not sold all that well after its first day on the shelves, as reported by CBC Radio News.
To draw attention to the book, or to perhaps add some perspective, the Lewinksy book had three other titles surrounding it on its display:
“Divorce for Dummies” “100 Ways to Leave Your Lover” “How to Remove Stains”
