I’m a day late and nothing to show for it beyond the few blog posts of this past week. I’m going to blame it on illness, other life events, and losing some steam after my vacation. Here’s looking forward to this week and getting back on track with new entries and updates.

I must admit that the addition of all those images to the Ephemera page has mucked with the layout. Eventually I do intend to reformat the whole thing so that this appendix looks more like the Books About Dean page, but that’s on my list of “long term issues” to deal with later. (Same with the Errors appendix.)
And last but not least, I’ve added images for these entries on the Collecting Errors appendix…
