[quote]I think this is the book that will become the most worn of all of your Powys books — you’ll be reading it and rereading it and jumping into it at random just because it’s fun to read and so easy to lose yourself in…[/quote]
Therefore, it should be a hardcover book, [i]especially[/i] as it’s going to be clocking in at over 400 pages.
You know what trade-paperbacks look like after you’ve gone through them a few times, and reference books in trade-paperback form are just Eagle crashes waiting to happen.

(who would re-buy EVERY Powys book in hardcover–they’re THAT important…and worthy)Hey, he had a hand in it, he should sign it if he feels so inclined.

[quote]I got home from a quick trip to find a tiny little box in my mailbox.
Lo and behold, it was from Lulu, but the box looked too small to contain a book.
I opened it up, and what do you know – there’s Android Planet.
And just like I thought, the box isn’t wide enough to fit a book.
AP was wedged inside until it fit. It now has a permanent S-curve shape to it and it won’t lie flat on a table.
I hope Lulu’s return policy is a good as they say on the website, because this is unacceptable.
Why would they even use boxes that aren’t wide enough for a book? They used to use those great flat packs that could easily fit a few books in them. Must be a money saving measure. Not this time.[/quote]Just curious, but did you use a discount code to order it? Every time I’ve used one, the books come in cheap packaging (in my cases, bubble envelopes too big for the books.)
As an experiment, when I ordered AP, I bit the bullet and paid full price. It showed in the traditional Lulu box with the book shrink-wrapped to the cardboard inside (as they ALWAYS used to do.)
Tex
(again, just curious)I think on Arcadia they’d say, “D’oh!”
My Homer Simpson/V-8 moment of the week!

(thanks, Ultra!)>from [b]The Dictionary of Stuff I Pulled out of My MUF[/b]<
“ignif” — Arcadian word meaning "D'oh!"
Tex
(hey, Printer's Daemons happen)Single spacing is the form used online. Double spacing is the correct form for books.
Tex
(where do you think the concept of double spacing came from, yah?)
