Carry My Heart Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Fox Business: Taylor Swift Little Golden Book biography sells 1M copies in 7 months Quote A biographical children’s book about Taylor Swift created a new record for the Little Golden Book brand, publisher Random House Children’s Books recently said. Quote Random House Children’s Books, part of Penguin Random House, said in a press release last week that "Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography" had become "the fastest-selling Little Golden Book" since the line started over eight decades ago. The feat was earlier reported by The Washington Post. Quote The popular children's biography, authored by Wendy Loggia, achieved that status after racking up over 1 million book sales in seven months, according to Random House Children’s Books. Its 24 pages contain illustrations by Elisa Chavarri. Source

So, nah, it would not be greedy. Perfume and makeup? Yeah. 2
ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted December 21, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted December 21, 2023 Why is this being called "Unofficial"? They clearly got her blessing to print it—this is an 80-year series from Random House, not an indie publisher Anyway, congrats to them, we love instilling a love of reading in children I read both the Taylor and Dolly Parton biographies one day when I was sat in Target waiting for my sister to buy anti-diarrheal medicine and I thought they were both so cute.

The book is unofficial/unauthorized since it isn't published or licensed by her, nor is she receiving a cut from the profits. It also contains original illustrations of Taylor made by a freelance artist, not licensed photographs. They have such books out on many other celebs and franchises. Here's the distinction Edited December 21, 2023 by Carry My Heart 1

As if it makes any difference if it's a billion or like 200 million or whatever hundreds of millions. You're not on the moral high ground you think you're on. Where is your respect?
