....and you can just take a train/tram/bus/cab to any book without having to walk via the Great Library (and BookJumping is now outre)....are there still closed books? Since a major case investigation in TN5 was the whole Sherlock-is-murdered-and-no-one-has-successfully-booksplored-into-the-Holmes-series plot, could anyone just wander into <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i> now that books and genres are laid out like subdivisions instead of drifting in the Nothing?

Thoughts, ideas, debate? A little help from the Great Panjandrum, please! :)

closed borders for a special island?

Perhaps if they stay part of their genre, they are in inaccessible locations?

.... and simply letting the roadwork Mrs. Danvers set out cones and diversion signs could effectively restrict access to a given location?

Perhaps opening up the Holmes series allows TN to fully investigate the 'serial killer' in TN-7?

Maybe it's like an invisible fence...dunno...but it seems a little like taking the easy-way-out if that's the solution to fixing the Holmes series.

Col. Bradshaw speculates these books are unreachable because they think they are real. (Intro to Chapter 4)

A bit like thinking you are invisible as long as you have your eyes covered. Which would make Sherlock Holmes a...bogeyman?

If a TV show or movie franchise makes a total about-face (e.g. the new Star Trek movie, the various incarnations of Batman and Superman), it's usually referred to as a "reboot". I really enjoyed that the major change in the TN franchise was heralded by an actual reboot, in this case of the operating system of the Imagino Transference engines. :)

Hi Millard73 welcome! Make yourself at home, we are not too frightening a bunch, but watch out for armed felines.
