(And now I have to read the story properly, drat it - it's been on my to do list for some time now...)

Fragano @701: Hmm, the price would probably be too high for me...

Owlmirror @ #361: I do hope that really is the story you remembered. Your plot synopsis for it just rang bells in the back of the brain.

Serge @355

Did you ever the story of the man who sold his soul to Santa?

I've always liked that one. Hadn't realised, though, that keyboard dyslexia was contagious before. You must've caught the stronger strain - it's gobbled up an entire word there, not just one letter. My apologies.

I am reminded of a story told by someone I know from Northern Ireland - one day he saw a slogan painted on a wall by one paramilitary group or the other, and it said, "Durg dealers out!" (So it's not just keyboards that carry it, but paintbrushes and aerosol cans too...)

Posted on entry Bookstore chain puts the screws on small publishers ::: August 11, 2007, 04:12 AM:
Oh, please, please, please, if A&R as a retail concern crashes and burns, can I have a Dymocks? Even a little one? I miss them from my time in Sydney. There's only A&R here (major regional centre north of Sydney), really, and those few stores are very much as Julia Jones described the chain in general (*waves to fellow Lyst person Julia*).

Jonathan Shaw (#61), I'm fond of Abbey's (and its sister science fiction and fantasy store, Galaxy). Gleebooks is very good, but inconvenient if you just want to duck into the city and out again. But all of those book shops are my main regret about not living in Sydney anymore. It's a 2 and a half train trip to visit them now *sniff*

*goes back to lurking*
