Temptation
Monday, July 15th, 2024 11:03 pmThe Folio Society has a handsome three volume edition of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell with illustrations by Charles Vess, and I never realized that what JS&MN cries out for is illustrations, especially Vess's. I would so so so like a copy. But. It's not yet available in Canada and it would cost me over $400 with shipping, if and when, and it really is a luxury that I could afford, yes, but there are better things to do with $400. That the intro is by Neil Gaiman is only a minor disincentive by comparison, but a disincentive it is. Sigh.
String of thunderstorms rolled through most of the day, flooding various subway stations including mine. July is now officially monsoon season in this burg. Is supposed to do same tomorrow abd can only hope it will have stopped by the time the taxi picks me up at 1 for my dentist appointment.
