A copy of The House that Hijack Built, by Adeena Karasick, is going Harry Thorne of Long Island City, who was the 200,000th visitor to this site. House has the unique distinction of being the one book that I appear to have acquired three times.

Some people have asked, so I ought to note that the rest of the 40-odd duplicate books that turned up when I put together my new bookcase will eventually find their way to the library at Kelly’s Writers House.

The box from SPD arrived and I was right – there were two new duplicates in that shipment. In one instance, tho, I profess blamelessness. I received the book from the publisher directly earlier this week, then the second copy arrived in the very battered box that SPD used. Happily, ‘twas the box that was battered & not the books inside.

One of the things you learn – or should – when you’re scrolling among the various blogs out there is that if you’re going to post a comment, especially if you have multiple blogs open on your screen & have the impulse to post a comment to more than one, you ought to slow down & try not to overdo the multitasking thing. Otherwise you might post the comment to the wrong blog & sound even less coherent than you really are. Somebody out there has a really weird note of mine that would seem much more sensible if it was only attached to Tony Tost’s blog.
