That, of course, is a pile of Gustavo Arellano's fresh new tome Orange County: A Personal History, going for a super-cheap price of $14.99. Oddly, Signal Hill isn't in Orange County, but firmly landlocked in LA County, surrounded entirely by Long Beach. Oddlier, yesterday I was at the La Habra Costco (it's been a big Costco weekend for me), and true to the mega-warehouse chain's often maddening policy of only offering certain items at certain stores and not others, there wasn't a single copy for sale anywhere.

Gustavo in Costco! What's next — Oprah's Book Club?

Ahhh, but with such choice retail placement comes a price. Notice that dark blob to the left of Gustavo's book? That would be a pile of the quickie Sarah Palin paperback bio. Even better — that other dark pile to the right of Gustavo's book? You got it — Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life.

Hey, Gustavo . . . can I have my free copy now?
