Thanks for plugging my little book. If readers accept your recommendation, I hope they like what I wrote — or at least like Terrance Lindall’s illustrations!

You’re welcome, Jeffery! I’ve just bought and read the book, and I thought it was brilliant. (I will have to read it at least once more, though, before I begin to grasp all the wordplay and references.)
It deserves a much wider audience.
At some point, I can send you a ‘cheat sheet’ that gives away a lot — though not all — of the wordplays and references.

HJH,
I bought the Kindle book and reading it as we speak. Please send the “cheat sheet” to me via Malcolm; he has my email address.
Just sent it, TBH, so you should be receiving it soon . . . depending on Malcolm.

I just got the book, too. I’d love the cheat sheet. Any idea how to get you my email address?
The Pleiades link doesn’t seem to be working, but I did find this (which requires 3-D glasses to appreciate fully).
Thanks, Kevin, I’ve fixed the Pleiades link. (You have to be able to cross your eyes in just the right way to see it, but it’s worth the effort.)
Henry, I’ve sent you what Jeffery sent me.
Dom, just enter your email in the email box in the comment form, and leave a comment. Nobody sees that but me, and I’ll delete the comment after I pick it up. (Or just have a look at the “about me” page.)
