I don't think they've 'managed' anything. I don't think there's been any
'stunt'. But lets say there has, does anyone really think that posting
then withdrawing then re-posting the blurb on Amazon (all the while
rubbing their hands together and indulging in Monty Burns style evil
laughs) will create sufficient buzz to last until December? Might they
not have been wiser to have hatched their master plan a wee bit nearer
the time when the item they're publicizing becomes available for
purchase?
