Imagine our surprise (and delight), when we got an email containing the image below from our friend Aaron yesterday.

Yes, it appears that Ten Thousand Stories is for sale in the gift shop at the Museum of Modern Art.

We were already excited just seeing the picture, but then Aaron went on to say that there was only one copy of the book remaining and that a number of people were having a loud and hostile argument over who would get to buy it. According to Aaron, he intervened and stopped what might otherwise have turned into a nasty, book-fueled riot. Right there in the MoMA gift shop.

There is a part of us that thinks Aaron was probably stretching the truth a bit, just to make us feel good about ourselves (he’s that kind of friend), but there’s another part of us that thinks it’s totally possible that consumer lust for our humble volume might instigate a fistfight.

Truly, could there be a finer compliment?
