I have the UK edition and the cover copy's pretty bad: you can read it here at Bloomsbury's site, which saves me the trouble of typing it up.

(btw, I tried using OpenId to post this and I got an Internal Server Error message.)

delurker: thanks for the link, and I'll try to reproduce the OpenId problem.

OpenId problem should be fixed. Sorry about that.

That's okay! It seems to be working now. *gives it a whirl*

I've been lurking on your book log for a while now, and I very much enjoy reading it. I ordered Sorcery and Celia as a result and enjoyed it immensely, thanks! So much fun to read.

I also tried A College of Magic and enjoyed the very beginning and the middle, but I disappointed by the end; I thought the plot went a bit odd. It was however completely worth it for the section in Paris, particularly Jane's hat-bomb. I'm currently contemplating A Scholar of Magics, which is alas not in stock in my bookshop.

Delurker: thanks for letting me know. I'd tested it, but one problem was a mysterious self-reset, and another was an unintended consequence; collectively it probably hasn't been working for months, and I never knew.

Glad you liked _S&C_. And yes, the plot of _College_ does go a bit odd. I'm not sure you'll think that of _Scholar_ an improvement, but there's lots of Jane which may well be sufficient inducement.

I nearly didn't say anything, but then I figured you'd never know if no-one ever said anything. :)
