Hi BB

I've looked at the outstanding comments in the conversation thread and thought I'd ask if you want to mention:
Falcon Division
Abigail more?
Short story 'A Rare Book of Cunning Device'

I see you've mentioned that there are short stories, even if you haven't mentioned them by name, and similarly you have also mentioned Abigail a few times. Obviously you can't cover everything and everyone mentioned in a huge book series in great detail, but if you wanted to add a bit more about them you can say. Up to you.

Can I check Cecilia Tyburn Tames - is her surname Tames or Thames?

<BB<

I'm afraid I haven't read any of the short stories and I wanted to cover basically the main series. I have the feeling Aaronovitch will add more and more short storeis outside of the main novel series and it won't be possible to add them all.
I'm not yet sure how important Abigail will become. If we see more of her in the next book I'll add her.
As for 'Falcon Division'.. I really don't think it's relevant.

Sorry, that's Thames, like the river of course.

Thanks for letting me know. As I said, you can't cover everything.

Others are welcome to write a separate Entry about every single short story if they want

The last question I have is: 'Is the first book 'The Rivers of London' or 'Rivers of London'?' The title looks like 'Rivers' without a 'The' when I saw a copy in the shop.
Other than that, would you like to have a thorough read through and let me know if there are any changes you'd like made, or if it can go on with its journey to the front page.

You are right, it's without 'the', I just checked.

Thanks, I'll read it.

Let me know what you think.

Last sentence in the section about the Folly:
'Vestigia are best conserved in stone, metal and also certain kinds of plastic, but for a short time also remains on a dead body.'
should it be plural 'remain' as it it plural 'vestigia'?

sorry for taking so long

Good point – I've tweaked that. So is it good to go now?

Yes, thank you!

Congratulations! Your Entry is on the Front Page today
