On Black Friday of 2024, Taylor Swift released "The Eras Tour Book" exclusively through Target. But is it a book? What's the appeal? Who is the audience? Was it unfair to cut out indie bookstores from one of the biggest releases of the year? 

Jane Friedman of "The Hot Sheet" is back with Joe and Elly to give her thoughts on book-shaped objects.

Note: This episode was recorded before the book actually released. Joe's post-release comment— "Since even diehard fans were unhappy with the quality of the book, it’s hard to Bielieve the think pieces claiming that celebrities don’t need publishers anymore."
