I’m still enjoying The Tainted at the moment, but my copy of The Shadow of Tyr has now arrived (from the other side of the world!) and is sitting tantalisingly on the shelf in front of me here. :o)

Love the idea of turning a book upside down to read for a few pages … wonder if one could make that a deliberate feature in a novel (e.g. chapters narrated by a certain character would always be printed upside down). In these days of mass publishing (and indeed online publishing) we can lose sight of the concept of a bound book as being physically an ‘art object’ in its own right.

I didn’t think that sort of thing happened too often these days. When I was little, I had an aunt who worked for Speciality Press in Melbourne, who did a lot of printing for publishers. I loved it when they mucked up, because my aunt used to snaffle all the resulting books and send them to us kids. It was usually quite readable – altho you might have to turn the book upsidedown every few pages, or ignore the funny illustrations. I still had some of those books when my own kids came along.

I, on the other hand, was left feeling momentarily confused a little bit after christmas. After reading page 40, I was presented with page 39 again..only it was the page 39 of a completely different book, with completely different characters and set in modern day Australia. Fortunately my Angus and Robertson were helpful and the book was swapped over no hassles. How odd, though.
