I noticed these two books on the same new releases table at Borders, and was surprised that they had been published almost simultaneously -- using the same stock photo on their jackets.

"Loop Group" by Larry McMurtry

"Bra: A Thousand Years Of Style, Support & Seduction" by Stephanie Pedersen

My friend Dave at Getty confirmed that this is one of theirs, "Image # 200018296-001, from our 'Taxi' collection."

Are we supposed to be titillated?
