What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPhotographer Gray Malin has a new book called Snow, with fifteen years of winter pictures from places like Aspen and Antarctica, CBS News reports.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt runs two hundred fifty-six pages, from Abrams Books, and one online bookseller lists it at fifty dollars.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's a lot of money to look at somewhere colder than my flat.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFifty dollars. I've paid less to be cold in a real building.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'm not saying I care. I'm saying he's done nine books, and this one's the winter sequel to his bestseller Beaches.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou're saying it twice, so you care.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe press release says the aerial shots came from doorless helicopters, for his À La Montagne series. Doorless. Over mountains.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo somebody held a camera over Zermatt with the door off, to make a coffee table look nice.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe BBN Drama Index gives Snow a six out of ten. The drama is entirely in the helicopter.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe book signing in Houston was a Wednesday evening. Nobody needed a door for that.
