Then she'd send it out to 15 more publishers.
I know - it really is crazy-inducing.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Fucketyboo.
I am in crushland with this word, Deb. I don't know if I've ever seen you use it before, but I find it utterly charming.

Heh. I use it only rarely. It's when my basic profanity seems either too much, or else utterly insufficient.

And that's why it works! It's almost like you were saying, "fuck it--oops!" People can't get upset with anything ending in -boo.

I wonder if I could walk up to George Bush and yell "You're a MURDERING LYING HEARTLESS FUCKETYBOO!" and not go down in a hail of Secret Service gunfire....?

Deb, Greg says someone absconded with the Booklist, but he's determined to track it down, and also his favorite branch ordered 4 copies. That's a pretty unheard of amount for them.

Four copies of Booklist? Or four copies of Matty?
I am taking a break from Cruel Sister today, and rereading chunks of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
I'm stone blissed. The damned book is better than I remembered it being. I'm hellaciously pleased with myself on the Kinkaid stuff, considering how much I had to bleed to get it done.
Come onnnnnnnnnnn, Nice Editor At Avon! BUY it!

Oops, four copies of Matty. They normally only buy one copy of most books, two or three of the really popular ones since they're in the Cleveland Public system and are able to borrow from other libraries very easily.
They have a weird interlibrary loan system here. Libraries in the cleveland system borrow from one another as if they're all branches of one another, but can't borrow from libraries in the county system, and vice-versa.

Deena, I wondered about that. That's Clevnet, right? BIG honkin' library system.

Yeah, Clevnet rules. I love it. I have most of seasons 1 and 2 on Farscape waiting to be watched because I was able to borrow it through Clevnet, despite every library seeming to have only one DVD of one or two episodes of the show.
