I LOVE Levenger's.... my fingers just ache to apply themselves to their
products...
I actually stopped getting the catalog because if I ever ordered from
them I'd probably never stop. lovely lovelies

My problem, too

that's not a bad price at all... primary reason I don't order from them
is that their prices are sometimes dearer than ambrosia.

I now have a chance of getting that, not only to add to my "books by
Tavernites" collection, but also because I love stuff like that

Indeed :)
Are we sure it's the same Jack?

See this message from Writing and judge for yourself. (He talked a lot
about working on it when he was working on it, then on the publishing
aspect, and then told us when it was available, and now this comment.)

When I published my trade-press abridgment of Johnson's
_Dictionary_ last year, the contract said that I gave the
publisher the movie rights.

Drat! -- and I had plans of optioning it to Miramax, with Brad
Pitt as the noun substantive and a cameo by Meryl Streep as the
letter N.  I thought about calling it a deal-breaker.

(Happy news: though it's been available only through mail order
so far, in September a retail edition will be released in a
co-publishing deal with Walker Books.  Walker is best known for
Dava Sobel's _Longitude_; they've also done _Brunelleschi's
Dome_, _The Victorian Internet_, _A Basque History of the World_,
&c.)
