From Cinescape.com: USA Today reported recently that some booksellers are "getting ready to pull out artificial fir trees, fake snow and Narnia-inspired stuffed animals" for the tie-in sales to the release of THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE this December. HarperCollins will be bringing out no less than 145 Narnia-related books to choose from. Some have been available for years, but an additional 24 movie tie-ins have been added. At bookshop in Naperville, Ill., the front window will display a life-size blowup of Narnia's lion king. And once the new HARRY POTTER book goes on sale, the owner will transform her store window into a winter-like "Narnia world." [More]
