It wasn't an easy read by any means but no harder than trying to get a hold on something like Mulholland Drive (which is still enjoyable even if you don't know what the hell is going on)<br /><br />Kevin, what an intriguing idea. The last time you suggested something outside my brief I wrote that piece about War Horse which people seemed to love so I'll get in touch with Folio and see what we can arrange. I'm actually in the middle of re-rehearsals for War Horse at the moment so spare time is non-existent, so it may be a little wait but 'good things come....'William Rycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056188088340973039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-33645702459908482442011-02-03T21:40:33.989+00:002011-02-03T21:40:33.989+00:00I love folio got few picked up second hand at time...I love folio got few picked up second hand at times this sounds like a wonderful book maybe a bit beyond me ,all the best stuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-82963539440961766662011-02-03T19:10:13.571+00:002011-02-03T19:10:13.571+00:00Will: I don't know if you are aware but the F...Will: I don't know if you are aware but the Folio Society has a Members' Room not far from your theatre (at 44 Eagle Street) that features their exceptional productions. Since they are recruiting your blog, I am sure they would welcome a visit -- and you would be stunned at how nice their volumes are (my favorite is Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy, but that's the Canadian in me). It's outside your brief, but I wish someone would do a post on the room.<br /><br />And they have exceptional volumes for young people, if you are thinking about venturing into a children's library. (I'd be happy to "gift" a volume or two in recognition of how much I appreciate your blog.)<br /><br />Here's a link to a small picture of the room: http://www.foliosociety.com/pages/our-history<br /><br />And I too find reading proof copies a "dividing" experience -- I love the chance to read in advance but regret the lack of proper physical contact with the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-90694042094185882202011-02-03T18:10:09.510+00:002011-02-03T18:10:09.510+00:00I don't know about you Kevin but with a lot of...I don't know about you Kevin but with a lot of books I read being proofs I find that the arrival of a particularly well designed book or a sumptious hardback reminds me of the huge physical pleasure one can derive from books.

Thick pages and a heavy book are almost golem-ish in themselves. All of which means I was glad to see your reference to the volume itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
