Issue 36 "Writing catalog blurbs has to be vexatious work. . . But to help the novice through the winter rite of catalog contemplation, here is a primer on the key words of the lexicon. . . and what they really mean. . . ' Light fragrance: You have to crush it and shove it up your nose to notice.' 'Provides winter interest: Is stultifyingly boring the other three seasons.' 'A challenge: Will die. (In law, this is called a disclaimer.)' 'Spectacular: Gaudy and Tasteless' " --Duane Campbell, "Catalog Come-Ons: A Primer" |
