From my other pit thread:

Yeah, it’s a busy board.

Yeah, I can log on later.

Yeah, andros is right, I’m whining.

I always buy a dozen copies at least; I have a special deal to get them drop-shipped from the bindery shortly in advance of publication.

Then I take them to the neighborhood fine bookbinder and have them hand-sewn into special boards, in a rainbow of hues, so that I can match the color to my mood.

And, of course, one special volume bound in rich Corinthian leather, which hangs on a platinum chain next to my toilet.

Just doing my bit for Unca Cece and the kids in the hall. Now hurry up and load, you %#&@%#!!!.
