And so this book and the prior two books, three books are published under my own imprint.

Well, I would like to take the number one spot from Maria Shriver. Maria Shriver has a book of poetry out and it's abysmal. She's not a poet. She's not a poet. She could have not broken the lines up and it would have been probably maybe a better book, but she's not a poet.
