Books we don't want to see ... but after all, this is New Albany

"No Slum Lord Left Behind: How New Albany Aims to Earn Respect by Remaining the Sub-Standard Rental Property Capital of Indiana," by “G.”

Review:
The author argues that New Albany’s branded destination “niche” within the dynamic, diversifying, knowledge-driven metropolitan Louisville area should be determined solely by unscientific methods that don’t cost too much to design or implement and don’t cause the brains of local politicians to hurt like hell because it’s all so hard to understand, recommending as the easiest possible path continued reliance on the socially irresponsible but time-tested methods of absentee property ownership, vacant commercial properties, a passive governmental role, rampant payola, general indifference to the value of education, and the lowest common denominator as Golden Rule.

Availability:
This book is available from selected community pillars. Regular purchase price is $10.00, except during election campaigns, when “market” pricing is in effect.

Forgot to mention this, but I've already had patrons asking if we had a copy of "No Slumlord Left Behind" in our stock. Maybe I should place an order? Here's the perfect opportunity for "G." to become a published writer.
