What a fine issue! So much to admire. I'd like to mention how much I especially liked Shekhar Aiyar's "Librarian of Buenos Aires" and "Dover", as well as the Waterman interview and Rory Waterman's poem, "For My Father". Beautiful artwork as well.

I'm taking it in slowly and savoring it in bits. Favorites so far: the Stallings poem in tribute to Rachel Wetzsteon and the interview with Rose Kelleher. As I look over the rest, I expect to enjoy all of it thoroughly. Thanks, Alex, for all your hard work.

(But my aging eyes do still wish for a darker-colored type and a larger typeface, especially for the essays.)

Thanks, Cathy. Thanks, Maryann.

Maryann, did you use the character resizer on the pages or was that still not big enough?

Cheers,
...Alex

Aha! Thanks, Alex. I overlooked the character resizer and used the Windows tool, which only worked on the printer-friendly version for some reason, and not well. The largest size via the resizer works for me.

But I'm selfish and stubborn and would still like the increased contrast of a darker blue
