A short list of thoughts about this advertisement:

1.) It is dangerous to climb a ladder in a gown with a long train.

2.) What is she doing tearing pages out of books?

3.) Why does it matter if you tear pages out of books, if you have that many books?

4.)  Books I have plenty of, but that Gregory XL sectional sofa would be ideal for my post lunch/reading naps.
