She's Everywhere, Part 209321
Alert Janeite Julie spotted a Jane Austen mention in the January 2007 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, in an article comparing the cost of books at various book and mortar stores and online.

“We shopped for 23 titles, new and old, best-selling and not. A hard cover suspense novel, a classic self-help paperback, a cookbook companion to a TV show, and Jane Austen’s “Emma” were in the mix. The list price for our list was $565. Internet prices were usually lower. Note that standard shipping adds about $ 3 per online order plus $1 per book, but shipping fees are often waived if you spend more than $25.”
Julie said in her e-mail, “The only author and title is Austen.” (We wonder if the writer compared the same edition of Emma from each retailer, though?)
