The two distant tornadoes that are bracketing her like a set of
calipers fooled me into thinking they were tentacles at first pass.

I don't know whether that's good, bad, or null from your point of view.

They've got your Grand Central Arena, four Scalzis, some Mercedes Lackey
and a lot of stuff from Project Gutenberg and the like.

What’s annoying is that they have some good things that
apparently aren’t legitimately available as e-books.

Yeah, I know, but they're not charging money for it. As one could tell
from my earlier post on piracy, I don't find it a concern.

But I just let Toni know in case it matters to her.

Three and a half of 'em. Now that you've mentioned it, it can never

Well, it's somebody's SF collection. It's not
like a site of Baen CD and similar give-aways?

Not really related, the other day I picked up
again what I assume is an authorized
Agatha Christie hardcover, _The Mystery of
the Blue Train_ - one of a series of nice
collectible editions, if you chose to collect
such - and I found a disappointing number
of typos in /that/.

Also in _Cards on the Table_, which I'd seen
on TV, I'm pretty sure that several characters'
guilty secrets were different - but I don't
blame the typesetter for that...

You mean /another/ one?

The Jesus thing is from Stephen Colbert (and IIRC Jesus
disagreed); so much for /that/. But the rest works.
