Gorey gloating
Oct. 27th, 2011 09:41 pmI arrived home this evening to find that the postman had been and forced a large bubblewrap envelope into the letter slot. I guessed immediately what it might contain, and cursed the somewhat sad appearance of the envelope as I eased it free.
In fact, "The Lost Lions" was further padded by a pair of catalogues which were the items that had been bent. The person responsible for shipping the review copies had also included a very nice little Edward Gorey bookmark, which sadly had suffered from the bending of the envelope, but will doubtless flatten out after a day or two.
I'm too tired to read the book tonight, but I can say that the physical production qualities are excellent, and if this is a typical sample of Pomegranate's work I shall be severely tempted to buy more.
