I want to go to Bookland now. I bet it's awesome there.

It's where all the books are from! All of them!

Although this does raise the question as to why they are all fleeing from their home country. Is it a totalitarian regime they are fleeing? Perhaps they are economic refugees, looking for a better life, where they will be cared for and looked after, rather than being returned unread for pulp.
Still, I'm willing to accept as many refugee books as my shelves can hold (and then go ahead and build some more shelves). After all, it's the libertotarian thing to do.

They might just be migratory in nature. After some number of years in the UK, when they have become a little yellowed and have started to roost primarily in second-hand bookshops, they will probably fly back to bookland.

I fear you have inadvertently triggered a rather sore point with your most recent post on the Hide and Seek blog; I have responded to it in place over there.

Yes, I just saw that! I might edit the post a little to make it clear that, mm, we are not planning on any Zany Sadism games ourselves, and that the catalogue is interesting to us as a weird period piece rather than as, you know, inspiration.

Thank you. Touchy and personal subject.

Edited a bit, hopefully it's clearer now. Thanks for commenting - I'd forgotten that stuff like this is still around, and it hadn't occured to me that it could even be legal now, let alone something H&S might endorse.

Hey, hey! Completely unrelated to anything else, but this seems like the most appropriate place to point it out.

Have you seen Game Shows With Bees? It's by Tom who you probably know from the Edinburgh New Year Games or from lots of other stuff. It would seem to be relevant to your interests.

They also have an EAN which stands for International Article Number (originally "European Article Nu
