i just bought one of these [More:]

it makes me absurdly happy. i adore the cheerful red cover, with its smart white punctuation motif. the illustrations give me a goofy grin.

if i could purr whilst reading it, i would.

that is all.
I don't want to give the ending away, but it has something to do with using capital letters.

i choose to remain cheerful :]

Looks pretty cool. I have about three copies of the regular S&W.

"Hmm, wow, how the heck do we improve on the absolute consummate classic style book?"

"Um, um... How about pictures!?"

I'll have to check it out. Thanks, LFR!
