Finished WOLP this morning. Thank you Amazon UK. I could not have waited another year. I love these books!
Just a personal aside: Tuesday was my last day at work, having been laid off. It was a welcome surprise to find my copy of WOLP waiting for me on the mail table when I got home. Thanks to Jasper for making my first day of unemployment a little easier.
were you made redundant Susan? there was something about the place you work in the Publishing News today about people being made reduntant... hope you're ok
Carla - I'm okay, thanks for asking. We're BookScan - it's the old WIS and BookData people that merged and therefore are affected. We're safe *does a quick headcount* yes, all here.
Been made redundant 3 times in 5 years though so know exactly what it's like!
You'd have heard about it if they sent me the 'letter'!!
Hi Jeanie, from another one of the Yanks on the Fforum. I'm in Michigan, and drove down to Dayton, Ohio to meet Jasper in April, which was great fun.
I got my copy of WOLP from amazon.uk in the mail Wednesday, and will be lending it to my best friend tonight so she can read it too. After that it will probably go to the friend who first lent me TEA, and got me hooked (it's all his fault).
Hey Rhea, I grew up in Plymouth, now live in Saline and am moving into Ann Arbor next month. Where do you live these days?
I know a few other Fforde Ffans in A^2 (a couple of which are my fault), but I'm the only one I know of in the Fforum.

Hi! I don't think I ever actually introduced myself. As you probably figured out, I'm Pam. At moment I live in New Jersey but I'm starting my freshman year of college in less than a month so I won't be here for much longer. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know.
