I don’t think it’s mean. I just thought it was kind of funny, I guess.

It seemed to me that I’d read “a lot” about the new Tristram Shandy book on your tumblr. (Review shows that I read one post about it.) When I tracked it down in the store last night, I asked someone what it’s deal was because I couldn’t remember exactly why it was special—aside from the fluorescent ink. Two very nice employees spent about a minute looking at it (kind of a long time in bookstore clerk helping time!), and they managed to tell me that it was a new version. And that Will Self is an author.
