Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about attack jelly so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate.

And for this episode, we read No Coins Please by Gordon Corman.

Joining us to discuss this early work by a legendary Canadian author is the creator of the

original Gordon Corman Facebook fan group, Anne Foster. Hi, Ann. Hi, I'm so excited. Welcome back.

Anne is a legendary Canadian herself, the host of the Vulgar History podcast and

returning guests to worst bestseller.

But this time, we're reading something short and fun.

Oh, God.

And that's because it's flashback summer where we revisit childhood favorites.

And so they don't necessarily have to be something that was ever at any point considered to be a bad book.

So if you saw this podcast and got your hackles up and your attack jelly ready to throw because

you thought we were dissing Gordon Corman.

Well, I guess we might actually a little bit, but mostly not.

So that's my first advisory is that this is Flashback Summer.

So it's a chill vibe.

And in fact, the vibes are so chill that I just want to give a warning that the audio

quality might be a little weird. And that's because me and Kate are on vacation and we're a little

beach house on the Cape. And because the walls are thin, I'm a little concerned about audio bleed.

And maybe this episode will sound kind of fucked up. And if it does, I'm so sorry, but just

know that we were having a really good time. Yes. And also, I guess this isn't a warning.
