And, once again, Truth In Advertising would require a postscript noting that
"Co-op Press" is owned and operated by Sy Brandon.

Sy is getting more imaginative with his self-promotions, but they still seem
uncomfortably covert to me. Wouldn't it be more honest just to offer to hire
someone to interpret your work, instead of sponsoring a faux contest?
