I came home last night to find a package on my porch. It was addressed to me. I found it odd as I didn’t order anything. And as far as I knew no one ordered anything for me either. I brought it inside but didn’t open it until now.
Turns out it’s the collector’s edition of Melania Trump’s memoir Melania. There is even an envelope included and inside it is a paper with her signature on it. It looks printed and not hand written but it’s still her signature. Of course, if you didn’t know it was her signature you wouldn’t be able to tell it is hers because it looks like a bunch of squiggles.
The book is wrapped in plastic. I haven’t opened it yet. The packing slip says it is a collector’s edition with protection plan. Don’t know what the heck protection plan means in this case.
The price of the book is $250 according to the packing slip. Even on the back cover the price says $250. Wow! That is very expensive. For that price I hope it’s in color.
Don’t know who her publisher was for this book but it’s kind of surprising that it’s made in China and not in the USA.
Can’t wait to unwrap the plastic and see what the book looks like inside. Better make sure my hands are clean before I do that.
After talking to hubby it seems like he was the one that got me this book as he told me enjoy.

I would not read it but I´d be happy if you told us what it is about.

It’s about her life I’m assuming.

@lovebuglena Not many autobiographies are appealing to me. I did not read the book "Spare" that Harry of England wrote. But I did like to read a few comments about it.

@marguicha yeah. Sometimes autobiographies or memoirs can be boring. Hope this one isn’t.

Thank you. After I finish the book I’m reading now and Greenlights I will dive into this one.

I am glad your husband "fessed up" to getting it. Maybe you will share some of the interesting parts of it with us.

Glad it was him because I started thinking about how in the world someone I don’t know got my name and mailing address…

@kareng Haven’t opened it yet but seems like the book itself is inside a plastic wrapper or whatever that’s called.

That was a nice gift from your hubby. I think I would handle it with gloves on.

I saw a picture of the book on something I was watching. Very plain.

The cover is very simple but it’s what’s inside that’s more important.
