Books! With Glue!

[pameladean]

I quite forgot to mention that the other cheering occurrence, possibly better than vitamins, was that Sharyn sent me advance copies of the first two Secret Country books in their shiny new matching reprint covers. Long ago, when the Scribblies were newly published, Steve Brust observed that the profound difference between the page proofs and the final actual book must be attributable to the glue. The glue has done its magic again.

David came upstairs with the camera Just in Case the package should be those books, and took a photo of me holding them up, which is now on my website. I can never remember the URL. Okay, here it is.

They are really quite beautiful.

A chocice of phrase which can give the impression, even for a matter of seconds, that only those two are being reprinted, must be getting satisfactory screams from more people than just me. Do you know when in December The Whim of the Dragon is due ? Likely too late for Christmas presents to cross the pond, but heck, I can buy it for people's birthdays.

Sorry about the screams.

I don't know when in December, but somebody reads this journal who might.

See, Whim of the Dragon isn't going to be reprinted -- otherwise, those of us who managed to stumble across a perfect, unblemished copy at some hole-in-the-wall used bookstore for a paltry $2 wouldn't be able to gloat and dangle it in front of people for laughs.

Ahem. Really, though, I'm sure I'll buy the whole set in the new release. Though I still won't quite believe it until I see it. I'm half convinced it will rain purple kangaroos the next morning, and Diane Duane will release Door into Starlight the following week.
