Alert readers?

[truepenny]

The mail today brought me the page proofs for the paperback of Mélusine (which will be out in July). I'll be going through them looking for typos (I know of one so far, on p. 9), but I have read this book ... I don't even KNOW how many times, and familiarity may or may not breed contempt, but it sure does breed blindness.

So I'm asking--though please note I don't imagine any OBLIGATION on y'all's parts. I'm just playing the odds. If you've read Mélusine and you happened to notice a typo--or typos--could you kindly leave a comment to tell me about it?

I'm playing way too much Civilization IV these days. There are many things I love about this version of the game, but far and away the best of them is Leonard Nimoy. Civilization advances come with pithy little quotes, and somehow or another, they got Leonard Nimoy to read the quotes for them. This will never not delight me down to the core of my soul.

Oh, I love the icon.

I still play original Civ; even if subsequent versions did work under DOS, many of the things done post-Civ 2 have little appeal to me.

Dang it, I just lent my copy out on Monday. And by the time I get it back, you'll be done with all this, probably.

I SO love Civ 4! and Leonard Nimoy's voice is just the icing on the cake :) I've been playing a net multiplayer game with a friend -- multiplayer is still sadly buggy, but it has still been fun/interesting doing this.

i'm glad i didn't have to wait for the paperback (but i may have to get one so i can loan it out)

I've only just ordered my copy today. By the time I've received and read it, you'll probably have the paperback version out already... *sorries* :-\

Slightly late, but...

There's a closing quote missing in the seventh paragraph on page 415, after "Please."

(I fold over the bottom corner of the page a little whenever I notice a typo, and that's the only page I've got marked, so either I was having a serious off-week for nitpicking, or it was a really clean book. I have one or two where the foldies are really thick until about halfway through, and then just stop, because my fingers got tired.)

And now I'll just say that I love your book and it is awesome.
