Leo’s Turn The Table Turkey – or Turn The Table Treasure?

DateJuly 30, 2012 CommentPost a Comment

Leo’s pick this week is something he never picked before -- an iBook. While everyone is going nuts over “50 Shades of Gray” and spending up to $29.97 for all three versions, Leo came up with The Diamond Book as his TTTT suggestion.  Yes, it’s hot, it’s sexy, and it has ‘dirty parts’ (I’ve heard), but it only sells for 99 cents! That’s only 10% of the selling price of the books in number 1, 2 and 3 places. Leo read us the book’s description: “When Brianna Young discovers that Roman Dyle, the man she built a relationship and a multimillion dollar company with, has gotten married to another woman behind her back, she embarks on a journey to realize her dreams of professional and sexual revenge for everything she had endured at the hands of Roman. Brianna seeks her romance from The Diamond Club, an exotic gathering of the Bay Area’s most attractive and interesting people, from angel investors and airline pilots to world-famous chefs and dub step artists. Gripping and emotionally charged, The Diamond Club is a story of revenge and discovery that will keep you on the edge of your seat.” Then he let us in on a little secret. The Diamond Club is a fake book, dreamed up by magician and scam artist Brian Brushwood, with sidekick Justin Robert Young. (Yeah, crazy the NSFW guys on TWiT!) They wrote the first part of the book and then completely crowd-sourced (with a lot of help from the TWiT chat room) a fake erotica book for the iBookstore. The compiled collection of submissions from readers was dubbed: The Diamond Club by Patricia Harkins-Bradley–telli (another fake bit)! As of this writing, (7:24 PM EDT, July 31st) it’s in 4th place on iTunes! Pretty amazing! All the profits will be used for a giant party at an upcoming event!
