In Edinburgh last week I finally persuaded sebastienne to pick up a hard copy of AJ because I was buying the only copy of AS in the tiny specfic bookshop we found halfway down Candlemaker's row. I proceeded to get it liveblogged at me over the next two days, followed by the same thing in re Sword, followed by a series of questions about where exactly it was that the previews could be acquired. So I'm pretty excited anyway and have been e-mailing back and forth with vass since you started posting sentences :D

(There is a long thread with topic "ANCILLARY MERCY 12".)
