 Just Sold: YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY SHUT UP: A Love Story, by Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn

Like He's Just Not that into You -- for married people -- but even more! This laugh-out-loud memoir about one couple's reliance on complaining, co-dependence and a healthy supply of Pinot Noir to keep their marriage intact is also poignant and revealing. Crown bought World English rights and will publish in February, 2010. Portuguese rights in Brazil and German rights sold already, both at auction.

"If you are married you will find this book laugh out loud funny and as important a document as the Magna Carta... if you are considering getting married, I would skip it and check out the Travel Section."

--Ben Stiller
