American Pallet Leasing Retains KCSA Worldwide As Investor Relations Counsel.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- American Pallet Leasing Inc. ("APL"), a vertically integrated manufacturer and logistical supplier of pallets and the operating subsidiary of Literary Playpen, Inc. (OTCBB: LYPP), today announced that it has retained KCSA Worldwide to manage its investor relations function.

Commenting on the appointment, Timothy R. Bumgarner, chief executive officer of American Pallet Leasing, Inc., said, "With more than 3,700 manufacturers of wood pallets in the United States, our objective is to "roll up" this highly fragmented industry. In addition to acquiring pallet manufacturers, we will also pursue a strategy of acquiring strategic lumber mill facilities. The goal is to build a vertically integrated pallet manufacturing and shipping logistics company. We are encouraged by our prospects, as evidenced by the completion of our first acquisition in August 2004 of G&G/Cherokee Wood, Inc, located in Blacksburg, South Carolina. Simultaneously, we will pursue a strategy of leasing our patented steel pallets, which the company has designed to be a durable, reusable and ultimately less expensive alternative to wood pallets. As we execute on our strategic objectives, we look forward to working with KCSA to communicate our story to the investment community."

Jeffrey Goldberger, managing director of KCSA Worldwide, commented, "American Pallet Leasing presents a compelling growth story in an exciting industry and we look forward to helping articulate the Company's value proposition."
