h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Here is my entry on Spy cameras. http://www.h2g2.com/A427015. A small thing, but mine own.

There is very little about Minoxes on the web, and nothing about them in the Guide.

It is something of a requiem for my Minox B which was in my handbag when it was stolen last week. The handbag was returned, complete with passport, purse, and plastic, but without my Minox B.

Hopefully the entry gives a sense of how physically attractive these cameras are to handle and use, and how fascinating they can be. I would like to include a picture of a Minox camera, but I do not currently have access to one which is both cleared for copyright and available somewhere else on the web.

Feedback, comments and questions welcome.

Hee, I like this Entry Loadsa info on these dinky wee camaras I would say yes the Entry does give an impression on how sleek and sexy they are A picture would be good, but when it is taken into The Edited Guide (which I have no doubt it will) all pictures are stripped out But as I said I liked this Entry Thank you

Thanks Crescent. The CIA link has a photo of one, and I suddednly realised that Minox probably wouldn't complain if I linked the info about the ones currently available to their on-line sales information.

Wow - what a labour of love this entry is! I feel I could lecture anyone on the delights of owning, using or even just admiring a Minox.

One smallish point - I'm not sure about the paragraph of links at the end of the entry. By all means, leave it in, but don't be surprised if a sub decides to prune it.

Hi Nexus, thanks for the comments. The links just lead on to more information. Ie they are supplementary rather than integral to the piece. (Which is why they are at the bottom of the page!)

Subs are of course creatures of greater wisdom and glory from another world, and as such, entitled to do whatever they like with such humble offerings as these - including ignore them.

Well, they ain't gonna be able to ignore it for much longer, as it has been scouted and picked by yours truly, and accepted to become part of the edited guide!

Congratulations!

Here's the official bit:
'Thanks for your recommendation. You'll be glad to know that we think this entry is great, and it has now gone into the Editorial Process for future inclusion in the Edited Guide. When it does get into the Edited Guide, we will email to let you know, but please bear in mind it can take a while for entries to go through the sub-editing system.'

That should have read "Subs AND SCOUTS are of course creatures of greater wisdom and glory from another world.

Thanks

*glows with quiet pride*

Utterly charming. Thank you.

Editorial Note: This thread has been moved out of the Peer Review forum because this entry has now been recommended for the Edited Guide.
