I've gotten to this pretty late as I've been working away from home till the beginning of this month (hence my much regretted absence from the confourance) and rather than have Benj send me my copy I decided it would be a better treat to wait till I got home, meet the man himself for a beer and then scurry home and read it cover to cover. Which I did! And apparently I'm Benj's favourite reviewer (forsaking all others) - who knew? 
Firstly - what a gorgeous book - so beautifully done, and packed with brilliant content. The selection process must have been extremely difficult, but it really is a hoot from first to last - huge respect to Benj and Mike. I did count my reviews (I had to check several of them as I wasn't entirely sure what was mine in some cases) and I'm incredibly proud to have gotten 49. I mean 50 would have been better obviously... but seriously, 49 is awesome.
Having had a look at the contributors list this afternoon (thank you O mystery statistician) I was also delighted to see Whipper properly represented too, especially now he's no longer a fourumite and isn't around to pimp his excellent work.
The stat is a good idea - I'll add it shortly. I'm also going to make myself an accolade of my contribution, which is a tad hubristic I admit, but another good way to celebrate your own publishing glory.
I'm sure everyone thought the same thing after finishing the book and popping on display under glass on the spotlit pedestal - when are we getting FWR2?  |
Guess how many reviews you'll have in The Book
