I just noticed something I found amusing....
I was looking at a first edition of The Quest of Julian Day, to check the collation.
On the spine of the dust jacket it proudly proclaims '432 pages 8/6 Net'
But the novel itself starts on page 11, and ends on page 422.
I wonder if anyone noticed ?
Terrific value for money, but ...
Hope it was as rich and satisfying as the cold one abandoned in Simon's house by Mocata's coven on realising their host had been abducted! (Heron edition, p34)Darren wrote:And how was the collation, Charles? Was it up to scratch? Does it compare well to The Sword of Fate?
