When I first heard of Harry Potter, my initial reaction was that if the books could be that popular despite being published by Scholastic, Rowling must be one TERRIFIC writer, to put in enough good stuff that Scholastic couldn't get it all out. Scholastic employs equal-opportunity gormless editors -- they mess up *everybody's* books. My theory is that they are the same people who make low-calorie foods taste bad so that you'll know they are good for you. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where winter is back and its sorta snowing.
