LXG: The Black Dossier

[SamuelAWilkinson]

Yeah, my new glasses would beg to differ.

[Mardroid]

I don't do the finger thing.

When writing a quotation or even the title of a book, it applies though. That's what quotes were made for. So 'LoEG: The Black Dossier' (or double quotes) is ok.... Unless I'm doing the quotes in the sarcastic "Yeah right that's a great book", context.  Not that I would do that having not read it yet (or even if I had.)

{A Pedantic Editor Writes} Since the advent of DTP the use of inverted commas for book titles has largely been replaced by italics or even underline for book titles, with 'inverted commas' used for articles or entries within books or journals.  Not relevant here, but unpublished or manuscript material tends to go unadorned. {/A Knob Shuts Up}  

But welcome, freckle monster, we're just having fun with you.  Your opinions on LoEG:TBD are lucid (if utterly wrong), and you haven't claimed Moore/Wagner/Mills/Holden is a worthless hack (yet), so you're ahead of most of us on points alone.

Bugger, just checked Koom Skree and discovered that freckle monster has been here for yonks. My sincere apologies for implying that yer a noob, sir.

I believe you'll still find it in some of the Colonials' publications, though - the New York Times, for one.

I liked how it's the Official Handbook of the LoEG Universe(tm), starting at the beginning of time and going right up to the 1950s!
The 3D section is amazing, especially 'The Ambassador'.

I spent most of Christmas reading it and the thrill power, it was magic.

[I, Cosh]

I'm not adding anything remotely constructive, but I didn't particularly enjoy the first League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series. Do I need help?

[Trout]

Yes. The ambulance is on the way.

The Black Dossier's bloody good.

FYI, anyone struggling to get into it can just read the comic strip. It works on its own.

Yeah if you're struggling, read the comic strip and then you can always dip back into the dossier sections later. You absolutely have to read the disclaimer at the beginning in Newspeak though. It's hysterical.
