[edit] Initial contribution

It's pedantry, I know, but I'm not sure how I should indicate "chapter seven" in the article's reflist. The problem is that the edition I'm looking at uses Roman numerals for chapters. I've followed that course in identifying the chapter, but if it looks too priggish to do so then someone by all means change it. I've stared at it long enough that I no longer trust my own judgment on the matter. TurnerHodges 03:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, so it makes perfect sense that I changed it to numerals. — WFinch 03:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. (And thanks for the correct quote. "W" in WFinch stands for "Waldo"?)TurnerHodges 20:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pins

I'd not seen the original cover before. What's weird about it is that chapter 1 specifies that the pin is a straight pin, not a safety pin. (I shouldn't even bring it up. It's probably OR, and now I'll incur the wrath of some administrator.) TurnerHodges 19:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Bill English blew it — he should have incorporated one common pin in his design. The book design is nice, though, with a special touch in having a pink and a blue safety pin printed on the cloth front cover, underneath the dust jacket. — WFinch 19:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
