Review

[wardatyork]

The official launch date for the book in the UK is September 11. The first newspaper review, in The Times, is here. My mother thought it was a very positive review. I think it's odd and neither one thing nor t'other. But still a review. And now I am humourless and shunting to add to pungent and erudite and engrossing.

Now The Times, next The Guardian! Congratulations on getting a review in a major venue

the toilet paper cover is for you Yanks. the cleaner more subtle blue and white one is, oddly, for the toilet-humour-loving Brits. I like both, actually. I think the toilet paper isn't too immediately obvious and the type is nice and bold. The British cover is just clean and lovely.

The review: yes, I agree. I think the criticism at the end is because every review has to criticise. The token closer. It's just that the opening makes me sound like a humourless git.

I'm just working on an extract for the Guardian. On biosolids, one of my American chapters. I have to Britishify it by tomorrow morning so I am reading through the Safe Sludge Matrix and net regulations for land application of sewage sludge. Great. There will be another extract in the Sunday Telegraph. On Sunday, obviously.
