Lines: 20 From: Wang Zeep So far, I am half way through The Book of Kells and having a great time. R. A. Macavoy has done a great job (the Acknowledgments are probably worth 25 cents alone) and if it keeps up, I foresee large sales of this book. Which leads me to the main point: TBoK is obviously being marketed for mass-market sales. The book doesn't have "Fantasy" or "SF" labels, has a cover that is very eyecatching, and a foldout inner cover that resembles a Harlequin cover painting. Look, I don't mind. Perhaps a few of the people who pick this up (probably women judging from the packaging) will enjoy this and find the rest of her books, and then look over on the next shelf for some more fantasy and then.... This book should do well. It deserves to. wz -------
