I started it yesterday and am already engrossed.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear about a re-issue of <i>The Card</i>, a book I found completely delightful. There are some questionable editions of it floating around, with the text simply lifted from an existing on-line version of the story that contains numerous flaws, including weird kerning and missing words - even on the first page. So a new edition from Penguin will be welcome.seraillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654593356535433945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609668304633418767.post-84405582958292305642016-05-06T21:31:33.822-07:002016-05-06T21:31:33.822-07:00Looks like they're doing a few, including Rice...Looks like they're doing a few, including Riceyman Steps.dorian stuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069923023770087626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609668304633418767.post-78804905862364598372016-05-06T20:13:05.903-07:002016-05-06T20:13:05.903-07:00Um, I'm responding to the Giono, lest you thin...Um, I'm responding to the Giono, lest you think I have time for two. :)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609668304633418767.post-562173617776510612016-05-06T20:12:17.516-07:002016-05-06T20:12:17.516-07:00Thank goodness I have emerged from under my rock i...Thank goodness I have emerged from under my rock in time to join you two!
