As

I thought it was pretty cool the first time I saw Donald Trump talking about my
books in his business books. But my books also have been in newspapers:The News Tribune
The Olympian
etc.

So how about you? If you're a writer where's the coolest place your books have been and how did it help your writing career? Blog about it, comment here, whatever.
The biggest boost I ever got from such a feature was after CNN. I walked into a Border's store and found several of my books stacked floor to chest high (of course they were 1,000 page books so that was maybe 50 books but still very very cool).
Thanks for reading,
