I almost subjected you all to a long rambling about my Swallows and Amazons books, and whether I should buy a particular copy of Missee Lee (one of the three I don't have) that is the same hard-to-find edition as the rest of the series, but is covered in clear film and has library markings on the spine. But while I was writing I realised I could not tolerate either film or markings, that I will likely not be able to remove either without completely ruining the cover and thus defeating the purpose, and that I'd rather wait two/three years for another copy rather than have to look at this one.

So you don't get the rambling after all. Probably you should be thankful.

In more delightful news, according to the Armageddon Facebook group and Twitter, Gigi Edgley has been booked for Auckland this year. She hasn't yet made the actual website, but: Chiana!

Oh, this is going to be an expensive autograph year, isn't it? I'm up to four, assuming none of them pull out.
