Phil: I’m reading “Step back in time” by Ali McNamara at the moment. There will be a review next week once I’ve rattled off the final 80 pages (Spoiler: I’m enjoying it) , but the thing that struck me was across the top of the cover:
From the bestselling author of From Notting Hill with Love…Actually
Notting Hill?
Love Actually?
Weren’t they a couple of massive films from a few years ago?
Admittedly, I’ve not seen either but I do remember the titles.
I can’t work out if this is clever or sneaky marketing. How many people think they are buying a book written by the authors of the films? (Note: Both films were written by Richard Curtis)
More to the point, surely there is some sort of copyright thing going on?
Could we call our book “Fifty shades of the prisoner of the Davidic Code”?
