In The Zone (getting M&D poster)

[Christopher Gonzales]

So I call my local B&N, and the guy tells me there were no such posters, he
hadn't heard of M&D, or the Master, and even if he had heard of it, it
wasn't in the computer.  Next I called Borders, and the clerk asks around,
and nobody'd heard of Our Favorite Author, or M&D, not in the computer,
forget any posters.

So I gave up and called Henry Holt, the publisher. I explained my plight to
a very nice woman in public relations, a prominent executive, a-and even
*she* hadn't heard of TRP. I said would like one of those fine TRP posters,
like in the bookstore windows. She hesitantly replied, "You want TRP for
Windows? Is that an obsolete computer language? You've got the wrong
publisher."

With her words I uncovered my problem.  I'm a fanatic p-lister, have been
for a while, I can tell you his son's name, how long he spent in the Navy,
the titles of his technical writing projects, usw, but I've never found out
the name of The Man We Never Refer To By Name.

Can someone please finally tell me what TRP and M&D stand for so I can get
my @#$&! poster,,,??
