Pippa Middleton‘s book has bombed, said The Daily Telegraph (U.K.). Prince William’s sister-in-law has published a volume of party-planning tips that is being widely mocked for such insights as “turkeys are perfect for feeding larger gatherings” and “cupboards, drawers, or boxes should be packed full of useful odds and ends.” The book has inspired a spoof Twitter feed, @PippaTips, which has such helpful hints as “make a nice present even better by wrapping it in shiny colored paper.”
