Maureen – Yaaay, mutual JS&MN fandom! I should nudge Kakaner to do a post one day with all of her editions of JS&MN (this was the fourth or fifth she’s purchased, no joke) – she has a red one as well, though not from London. Nifty!

Agreed re: Zelinsky art. I always loved children’s books with detailed, jewel-like art like his. It was pretty flabbergasting to see all the detail in person, and realize just how much time would have go into every page of one of his books.

Anda – Haha, Amazon as a verb would definitely be a useful shorthand. And yes, you should read Jonathan Strange, stat. Provided you like footnotes and English humo[u]r.

It is now a new life goal to one day have artwork on those walls!
With all the Jonathan Strange sqeeing going one…I need to amazon* it!

*Can we use “amazon” as a verb yet? Silly Internets making up new words…

Yay, Jonathan Strange! My copy is from London and is red. Both this facts make me happy.

I’m drooling over the Zelinsky art. WANT. If only I had $35,000.
