      <description><![CDATA[I just discovered this thread 3 years after its creation... but can't help to put my two cents in.

I have always understand eradication in the book like a concept in quantum mechanics. I believe as the way Fford created it, eradication isn't anything similar to killing off a guy, but a side-slip between parallel universes. So eradication is not an event that can just &quot;happen&quot; at a time and place. It is more like an act of jumping from one timeline to a separate one. (in this case, bringing Thursday alone from her universe into a Landen-less one). And if eradication is not an event, then it is not something that can be considered to merely &quot;take place in the outland&quot; and thus &quot;not affecting the bookworld&quot;. By no means is Fforde suggesting the bookworld exists in a parallel universe. In all the examples seen in the series, bookworld shares the same history and timeline with outland. If outland is a house, than the bookworld is merely its basement with restricted access. While the basement is more or less &quot;unaffected&quot; by events upstairs, it still exists in the same house. 

Put it another way: it is not like Landen's eradication is something happen in a house, and then its basement has to decided whether to match it or not. The way What Goliath has done is like abducting Thursday from that house and lock her into an almost identical one next door, but sadly with no Landen there. MOST IMPORTANTLY, this new house has its own basement where Landen didn't just disappeared--he is simply unheard of.

*sigh* I wrote too long... IN ONE SENTENCE: the Landen-less universe that Thursday was stuck in has a Landen-less bookworld and a great library without Landen's book. Landen is simply unheard of.

The reason I am so convinced is that I have noticed the relationship between outland and bookworld is very different from that between parallel universes. Take this example: when an narrated act is modified in Jane Eyre or any book, it is immediately reflected in the printed version in outland. This relationship is very different from what happen between parallel universes, where events are independents (after the point they branch out and become separated from another).

Ok... in the end I do personally wish a fictional Landen can spend some time with real Thursday during that few years... but come to think of it, isn't that cheating?]]></description>

make your way to Nextian, where most of the anarchy is contained. These individual book-related threads tend to go fairly quiet after the book has been out for a while.

In reply to your comment, while you are correct, is it possible that the captain Nemo in question has not yet been called back for Mysterious Island - and is he the same Captain Nemo who eventually appeared in &quot;The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen&quot;?   Perhaps J-Ff can enlighten us?]]></description>

I just found out that Captain Nemo, commander of the Nautilus, is wasting away in Caversham Heights, no sequel in sight. How soon he has forgotten! Mr. Verne himself can tell you how the good Captain saved the day in &quot;Mysterious Island&quot;!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello again all (been a while I know)

Have just finished re-reading TEA, LIAGB and now almost through WOLP, which I must say is my fav by miles. I adore the whole book-world concept. JF's imagination is fathomless.
So, who is your fav bookland character? Mine has to be Commander Bradshaw. I love the bit where he whisks Thursday off for a cup of tea and introduces her to Mrs Bradshaw.How I'd love to sit on the verandah with them both and watch the wildebeest kicking up the dust! Sigh...
I've also been hinting to my husband about the possibility of moving to the Lake District and living in a Sunderland. They have one in the RAF museum in London and they are absolutely enormous. 
Well, roll up roll up, and cast your votes...

      <description><![CDATA[I had the same problem as rincewind. My personal favorite is LIAGB because it seems to define the logic and &quot;happenings&quot; of Thursday's world better than any of the others, and had some of the most interesting events, like her near-death experience, the way Colonel Next saves the world, the mammoths, Thursday's entry into the Well of Lost Plots, the fact that there are no ducks... everything! And while I was reading WOLP it felt kind of weaker than the other ones, but after a couple of days since finishing is it suddenly dawned on me how devilishly ingenious everything was; I guess I just wasn't expecting all those little quirks (like Thursday exiting the narrative, which then turns into third-person) and ideas about classic characters. WOLP is now my second-favorite; [I]Lost in a Good Book[/I] still reigns supreme.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I was so delighted to see this small reference to one of my all-time favorite SF novels, a book from the 50's by Alfred Bester titled &quot;The Stars My Destination.&quot; Gully appears during the WOLP awards meeting and offers to help Thursday with the troublemakers. He introduces himself with a variation of a piece of doggerel from the novel: 

&quot;Gully Foyle is my name, 
And Terra is my station,
Deep space is my dwelling place,
And death my destination.&quot; 

But the last line should read &quot;...the stars my destination&quot; (i.e. the title of the book. But perhaps that was too much of a give-away.  It is however worth noting that &quot;Stars..&quot; has as its major plot premiss the development of the ability to teleport (called &quot;jaunting&quot; in the novel), an activity quite similar to the ability of Thursday (et al) to &quot;jump&quot; from novel to novel, time to time, place to place, and character to character.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'd like to think I get a fair bit of the punnery.  but, being 17, I don't, or so I assume.

I got Landen, of course, being a Brit, and Houson, Bilden, Millon DeFloss, and a host more.

Missed the Squire of High Potternews though (Square on... something...) and I get Ronan Empyre now.

I like Bowden Cable too.

Braxton Hicks always reminds me of Flixton Slick, from the Jennings books by A. Buckeridge, but that's almost certainly not it.  :D]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I wasn't trying to denigrate you in any way.

for what it is worth, I believe your attitude is totally correct and if the price is wrong for you, you did the right thing and got the U.S. edition. Of course I would also have thought that you had done the right thing if you had decided to by the expensive copy: it is your money so your choice.

The important bit is that you enjoyed reading it.

Cheers]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[oh no.  i would never buy a paperback.  my TN1 and 2 are paperbacks, but that's becuase i got them as a present.  well, ok, my TN4 is also a paperback, but it's the first UK paperback.

well, i don't want JUST the story, but $65 ain't worth it for me (though tempting).  so i bought the first US hardback.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Turning it into a signed copy is not too difficult, so, due to the relative rarity (in the U.S.), the price still does not seem excessive. 

If all you want is the story, then the latest paperback version is fine, but collecting first editions is a different fishy steamer. 

Collectors are strange people. I should know, we have two in our house.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[it was new, perfect, but not signed...

so i wasn't second-hand.

i'm just saying that i couldn't think of anybody would buy it.  even i, who am somewhat obsessed about these things, would not buy it for that much.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[No price is [i]unfair[/i] for a second-hand book.

Some are too expensive, but that is up to you, the potential buyer to decide. 

If it is a signed, perfect copy, then the price is probably about what I would expect to pay in the U.S.A for the U.K. first edition. (I have seen signed ARCs listed at $180 and they were free....)

I hope this helps.]]></description>
