One for @George-K ("you get used to it"), @LuFins-Dad and a few others:
It takes some unpacking to appreciate how clever this is.
For one, the tagline construction is a snowclone of a lot of popular tourism taglines, some of which were popular in the 80s and 90s. I believe Indiana had one that was "there's more than corn in Indiana," and California's was "there's more than gold."
But the greatest freaking thing is the design. It's a knockoff of the Reading Rainbow logo.
Know why?
Because in the 80s and 90s, Baltimore's slogan was—I shit you not, they thought this up—"The City That Reads."
This is just brilliant.

From Amazon, about the author:
Xan West is the nom de plume of Corey Alexander, an autistic queer fat Jewish genderqueer writer with multiple disabilities who spends a lot of time on Twitter. Xan’s erotica has been published widely, including in the Best S/M Erotica series, the Best Gay Erotica series, and the Best Lesbian Erotica series. Xan’s story “Trying Submission,” won the 2018 National Leather Association John Preston Short Fiction Award.
After over 15 years of writing queer kink erotica short stories, Xan has begun to also write queer kink romance. Their recent work still centers kinky, trans and non-binary, fat, disabled, queer trauma survivors. It leans more towards centering Jewish characters, ace and aro spec characters, autistic characters, and polyamorous networks. Xan has two romances currently available: Nine of Swords, Reversed and Their Troublesome Crush. Their latest book, Eight Kinky Nights, an angsty kinky polyamorous foodie Chanukah f/f romance, releases December 16, 2019
