Orange's comment in the cat-photo thread about a reprinted puzzle of mine reminded me that I should plug a collection of honest-to-god new puzzles of mine, a little toilet-shaped book of 10-by-10 crosswords (some themeless, some not). I'm pretty pleased with it, actually.

Posted by: Orange at August 31, 2005 09:52 AMI think the two of you might see about taking it out in trade....

Posted by: Orange at September 1, 2005 11:26 AMWell, for convincing other people to buy the book, I'd say...maybe a copy of one of Francis' 'toilet' books would be a fair trade. Or a picture of him in his skivvies. Rose, you have one you can send us, right?
Posted by: Mona Buonanotte at September 1, 2005 11:06 PMKnowing Rose, she probably meant "trade" in the sense of "rough trade". Anyway, let's see -- sure, if you convince, say, five people to buy Holy Tango, I will give you a copy of my crossword book. But I will need to see receipts. Stuck in cleavage.
