A little bit about The Joy of Costco: A Treasure Hunt from A to Z…
In their book, The Joy of Costco: A Treasure Hunt from A to Z (September 12, 2023; Hot Dog Press, LLC), they hope to share with the over 3.2 million people who enter one of Costco’s warehouses every day the answers to some pressing questions, such as how does Costco keep the price of its foot-long hot dog at $1.50? In a whimsical A to Z format, the book covers topics ranging from Chicken and Eggs to more serious topics like Costco’s Code of Ethics, Sustainability and Good Works.
