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

That Billy Joel entry should be: http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B2ZHau0jbhEIYzg4NjFiMmUtNzhhYi00OTBiLTk1OWEtZDE4OGU2YTAxMjUz&hl=en_GB&authkey=CMu1peUN

I'll proofread #16. I'll do it tonight, with some soothing piano music (Schumann, perhaps) playing in the background. The article sounds fascinating, and I'd rather do it than the one about Billy Joel (I have no CDs by Billy Joel at all in my house...).

I'll do the Billy Joel one.

The ones the cobbler threw at his wife:

I've sent document 16 in. Through some glitch, the file name is 17. I tried to change it, but was not suxxessful. However, the document itself is 16...

Wow, that's all the 42 of the collection up for grabs!

So we don't have to click back in the thread, these remain to proofread:

Yeah. So much for trying to help. It seems that copying a post won't bring the whole link correctly.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Keep 'em coming in! I hope to get the book off to lulu on Sunday....

I've just been finalising the blurb and the front and back covers, and it's getting SO-O-O-O-O exciting!

We hope to have the first proof copies back in time for the Interim Committee's meet/p***-up in Manchester at Easter.


But if I am going to be able to do that... I need those last few entries proofed!

B

sending # 28 i a minute, and starting on 29.

Milla, you are a superstar! I'm on #21 (Moroccan Gins) so I'm running not far behind.

29 and 30 sent in.
Picking 31 and 32.

Hey people! This isn't too bad (sais she without Ben's feedback)

The entries are often only 2 or 3 pages, and very clean to begin with. Hop in and join the fun, and be a hero!

32 was already done, took 33 instead.

What else needs doing, guys? Not tonight (natch) but on the morrow?

I have #35 - Percy something or other.

O god, is that the time!

I'll put up a list of what I'm still waiting on in the morning.

B

36 : Grace Gifford's Wedding - done & returned

I should be confident, but... the hyphen as above is correct, yes?
...Wedding - done
rather than
...Wedding- done
?

Yes it is correct Rod. I am sorry about that. The "wedding- done" hyphens are the result of some shoddy find-and-replacing I did to get rid of random m- dashes. I live and learn.

Just a quick reminder to ask that you set track changes to on, or make notes in some other visible way in the text.

Thanks

Ben
