Received my copy this morning and I agree with Franky, the book is even better in 'real-life' so to speak - the cover is dazzling, the book nicely big and chunky and the text is very clear, well-spaced and making it a very comfortable read.
I'm pleased that Piers' splendid essay and my own piece on Brimstone didn't replicate too much, and have interestingly different approaches.
Of course, re-reading my own Brimstone essay I'm perhaps over critical and can think of a few improvements and I should have written more.
On careful reading this evening: I have found some omissions - I'm not sure if the text of Mrs Peel's missing height and vital statistics of ... 5' 8½" tall, 34-25-36½ are an Amazon figures error or omission - an omitted Ian Fleming quote and a missing piece of text - Mrs Peel's hypothetical reaction quote to her kinky costume... it's one of my best lines! It would be great if these pieces of text could possibly be re-instated
There's an inevitable typo in original dialogue script: text should read Hotel George V or Cinq - not Sand or Sanc.
Nevertheless, overall, I'm contented with my intentionally controversial risque piece and hope to continue this erotic theme into the Series 5 chapters
'This book has one of the loveliest descriptions of Emma Peel's demeanour, and a reason I find her so attractive: "cool warmth"'
What a superb description of our gorgeous Emma, Franky
I've read a few tasters of Anti-clockwise's and Margaret's chapters and they are an absolute joy
Just been skimming through a few chapters, Rodney's brilliant linking pieces... and the brief contributor bios, which are fascinating. I must say this book is astonishingly good... totally compelling, and a real must for any Avengers fan. It's the type of magnetic book to which you will continually want to return - a classic 'unput downable' - 'real page turner!'
The book is thrilling, stylish and sexy - it has pace, verve and panache - very much like an Avengers episode itself!
Well done Rodney... well done Amazon... well done everyone!
