The low down

In my previous post I linked you, my loyal readers, to my new love, The Morning News. I was reading a few articles this morning and came across this one, which I just couldn't resist commenting on.

First, as someone who worked in a publishing company (although we never published any books about this) I think the person that came up with the idea for this cover is absolutely brilliant and probably a blast to have a few beers with:

I also enjoyed the rapport between the Morning News interviewer and the guy that wrote the book. It's like reading a conversation between a 13-year-old boy and his annoyingly-patient science teacher. Although, I guess given his "area of expertise," patience is definitely this guy's strong suit.

I thought I was the only one that did the tub stopper!

When you get some time, let me know how you check out hits to your blog. TTYL.
