Six years ago, Mr. Archambeau and his wife, Ora, decided to lock the door of their specialty food and gift shop, Au Bon Gout. There were just too many strollers finding the Via Mizener, colorful offshoot of the glamorous Worth Avenue shopping area. They put up a sign saying “Private Membership Club,” issued keys and started admitting only men and women willing to advance $100 annually, to be credited against merchandise they bought. The checks poured in; there are now 1,500 members, each with some guest privileges.

“If they can't spend $100 a year, they don't belong here,” Mr. Archambeau said.

Customers are offered wine as they enter, and often wander through the sprawling converted house with glass in hand. They also nibble on Flying Saucers, crisp bits of unleavened bread made on the premises and packaged in two‐ounce jars that sell for $3. Almost no self‐respecting cocktail party in town is without them.

Although the shop is a potpourri of gifts and, food, two items that walk out almost as fast as they're made are the $5 potholders, particularly the one that says “Who invited all these tacky people?” and a pillow that reads “It's not un‐American to make a profit.” One man ordered 24 but had added to, the reverse side, “But it's a hell of a struggle.”

Mail order customers don't get keys, but they don't have a $100 minimum either. There's a catalogue ($2) issued annually. It can be had by writing Au Bon Goht, Via Mizener, Palm Beach, Fla. 33480.

Diverse, hilarious, and fun
Format: Paperback
This was soooo fun, and what it lacked in patchy storytelling made up for in its incredible art and lovable characters. The main character is latina, fat, and queer, the love interest is black and queer (yes, it's f/f romance!), and the prominent side character is non-binary, queer, and literally a mix of kenji and kuzco from the emporer's new groove (they were SO sweet but funny and definitely my favorite part of the book). Not to mention all of these characters are mythological creatures! I loved reading the characters' interactions because the banter was so cute and fun, both platonic and romanticly. The action began to get a bit confusing toward the end and I wish it was explained better what was happening, but I loved the world building and the characters' relationships with each other so I'm definitely continuing this series.

the art is great and really helps to set the scene of this ...
Format: Paperback
It's cute book. the art is great and really helps to set the scene of this magical world. I took issue with the characters and the narrative. The main character is a werewolf who is very self conscious about it but it's never really clear since apparently, there are not only plenty of werewolves but also people who can shift into other animals. Her best friend is a centaur who I found a little grating with his "lol XD so random" personality. I didn't find much fault with the girlfriend character but I didn't understand their relationship. the main character starts the book having had one date with her girlfriend they seem to have some issues (over what I thought was very minor things) and decide at the end of the book to go to couple's therapy to solve them but like, they weren't together for that. I assume maybe a month has passed, just break up. I just didn't understand that. The narrative itself didn't seem tight. One character has cryptic visions that didn't really seem to pan out or really have the gravity she seemed to put to them. there is a meta narrative involving a book the main character likes and the events in that book mirror the events in the comic but I didn't really see it that strongly and it seemed to have little use. The main conflict seems to be solved very quickly and with little fanfare. All in all, it's not a bad book. i just found it a bit weak. It's not amazing, nor above average. But it's also not garbage or terrible. It's won't have the greatest of appeal but I'm not upset I bought it and it's not a waste of time. However, I wouldn't read any additional work of this series.

Obsessed

I really hope there will be more of this comic coming soon. It was so well thought out. The colors were incredible. The fluidity of every character was great. Enjoyed this so very much.
