"wonderfully fun, but e-galley is virtually unreadable -- a PDF of the print galley, I think, emblazoned with PROOF across every page, which makes my e-reader think it is text, so every two pages, it spells out PROOF, giving each letter its own page. Very slow going. I might have to dock points on that." — Jun 05, 2013 05:37pm

added a status update: I see that the BBC is airing an adaptation of PG's The White Queen.
1. I am always infuriated by how few BBC programs get to America. 2. Why this one? There is so much better HF out there. 3. I'd still watch it if I could, see 1. Just because I like costume drama. |

added a status update: So I'm going to be at the Historical Novel Society conference next week and want to get author signatures but would rather not lug two dozen books in my luggage. Any ideas for a clever way to get signatures? (Or do I just get an autograph book?) Incidentally, my wife thinks I should lug the books along!
