... that "the cake book with the train on the cover" (example pictured) has sold over a million copies in Australia?

ALT1:... that the 1980s Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book (example "train cake" pictured) has become a cult classic?
Comment: If promoted, request a timeslot which is during the daytime for Australia.

Seeing this nom certainly put a smile on my face – I spent a tragically large portion of my childhood poring over the pages of this book! Almost everything is good for DYK (date, length, references, neutrality, QPQ, hooks, close paraphrasing) except that it should probably be mentioned in the main text rather than a caption that it is known as "the cake book with the train on the cover" if ALT1 is to be used. Also, if the image is to be run with either hook, you'll need to figure out a way to integrate (pictured) or (example cake pictured) or so on into the hooks. 97198 (talk) 07:53, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks @97198: I've moved the fact into the prose now (as well as added an infobox), and adjusted both proposed hooks to include "example pictured". I also swapped their order - I think "the cake book with the train on the cover" sounds more engaging. Witty lama 19:29, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks – good to go here. Reiterating for the promoter that it would be ideal for this to be on the main page in Australian daytime. 97198 (talk) 06:44, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
