That looks good. How many pages is it, gary? I can't mentally picture a book's size by word count - I've no idea if 100,000 words takes up twenty pages or two hundred! | ||

About 300, Huw. | ||

Thanks, Gary. That's pretty substantial - I was expecting it to be 150-200 pages. | ||

No, it's a whopper. I like to give good weight in my books. The Bestwick is 300 pages, too. | ||

Ordered this one and the Bestwick Did anyone read Finch's Cape Wrath? I thought it was quite entertaining. | ||

"Cape Wrath" was superb. | ||

Yep - I loved "Cape Wrath", too. Brilliant stuff: Finch at his brutal best. | ||

Thanks for buying, folks. You won't regret it. This book is remarkable. 'The Baleful Dead' is, frankly, a supernatural masterpiece. And the others are masterly, too. | ||

Got my name on a copy. I hope. The Bestwick beast arrived yesterday and it boasts, indeed, a massive girth. | ||
