Cambridge, Mass. - They�re back. The detested little green creatures, alien beings no more than four feet tall, have once again targeted The MIT Press in their scheme to take over the world. Unlike their attack of two years ago, this time their strategy is more sinister. MIT Press staff, who in 1994 were impressed into service by the aliens as robot slaves, are not even needed. This time the aliens are morphing into the actual books that The MIT Press has put on sale. Wrapped in the guise of irresistible Press titles, the despicable alien pests will try first to seduce you intellectually, subliminally, and then, once your books are read and are sitting on your library shelves - BOOM! - you�re outta here.
The Press recommends that you take the added precaution of sealing your books in a plastic bag for a week after receiving them. It is believed that doing so will neutralize the protoplasmic morphing essence lying dormant in every title.
Good luck, and please be careful as you take advantage of...
