Oh, and Powell's, I'm also trying to figure out how I've missed that. Perhaps they don't deal mainly in fiction? I don't know, I'll take a look around soon - thank you for pointing them out.
Yes, I'm definitely thinking I'll get them all. Sean works in a Natural History museum, so we've got maps and skulls scattered around the place along with a discarded diorama or two (just to set the scene, we're that sort) and I'm sure we'll enjoy his work immensely.
God, now I want to set up an Inklings Skype sort of thing - and I've never used Skype and I'm completely incompetent at the internet. I'm currently battling with formatting and links over at the lemon's journal in such a way which I'm sure would be unseemly if anyone else could see me on my couch wrestling with the keyboard and frowning mightily. I also hate having my picture taken and don't really fancy dressing up in order to go online. So that settles it.
We'll take it analog for now. I'll finish my slim volume of one-sided (this bothers me, why can't we have her replies? What did he do with them?) letters and post about how similar what C.S.L was doing is to what we are doing 60 years later. On an interesting sort of note, post seemed to travel more quickly across the pond back then. He has a quirky way of changing the format of the way he writes dates which is charming, and also makes you take note - he also makes a habit of thanking his correspondent for her 'letter of the -th' and I am left with a distinct impression that her letters arrived within a few days of being sent, at least in some cases. Humph. I wish things moved as quickly now...
