Peter Lee, the owner of the Yenching restaurant—which is drawn on a page of the book opposite the words “or sushi or moo shi or chicken stir-fry?”—said yesterday that he had not heard about the book.
But an employee at The Harvard Bookstore, which is also drawn next to the words “see jumbles and heaps...” said that the store had already sold 130 copies of the book.
Indeed, Bull said that sales were “very strong.”
He said that Commonwealth had printed 3,000 copies and was planning a second press run.
And he said that he is encouraging Stossel to write children’s books about other locales, such as Central Park in New York City.
