Carlo unregistered	posted January 03, 2003 10:37 AM that's great LMB. At least we know that it will be in a Knowflake's hands and that you will let us all know how it differs from the published work. So it's all good IP: Logged
LMB Newflake Posts: 0 From: Madison, WI U.S. Registered: Apr 2010	posted January 03, 2003 12:08 PM Of course I'll give you the whole scoop! When I get it. Love to all, LMB IP: Logged
Carlo unregistered	posted January 03, 2003 01:26 PM Right on girl You know, ebay is so funny because people get such great feedback for not really doing much other than listing and shipping or paying on time I love it when I buy something from a seller who is new, I make a big fuss about how amazing the transaction was, and how fast they shipped, and how the product was better than expected. It's kind of fun, you get to be really thrilled and it helps others out too I think ebay is a ball I wonder what the editors at St. Martin's Press took out. St. Martin was a rabid Christian, totally all up in people's faces as a prophet, it's just funny how his name is now linked to the publication of Linda Goodman's works. Maybe there is Mannu stuff in the proof... Love, Carlo IP: Logged

Especially about Mannu! In Star Notes, Linda is very irate about what the publishers did to her books! ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

LMB Newflake Posts: 0 From: Madison, WI U.S. Registered: Apr 2010	posted January 04, 2003 12:36 PM Randall - but the galley would still be the publisher's version, right? The only way to know what the publishers didn't cut out is to get her first draft. Hhmm. LMB IP: Logged
Carlo unregistered	posted January 04, 2003 01:06 PM No LMB...what you will be getting is her original submission to St. Martin's. IP: Logged
LMB Newflake Posts: 0 From: Madison, WI U.S. Registered: Apr 2010	posted January 04, 2003 06:10 PM Carlo - Are you sure? I feel silly for not knowing that since I work at a bookstore and we get galleys all the time. If that's true than you have really made my day!!! Love LMB IP: Logged
LMB Newflake Posts: 0 From: Madison, WI U.S. Registered: Apr 2010	posted January 04, 2003 06:13 PM Carlo - i looked at the website and saw that it's an "uncorrected proof". Is that different than a galley? I don't think so, based on what i know. IP: Logged
Carlo unregistered	posted January 04, 2003 08:03 PM yep. a galley is just the publisher's copy of the original manuscript, the same as an uncorrected proof. So it was Linda's manuscript when she sent it, then St. Martin's created the first galley, the Uncorrected Proof, and returned it to her. Then she made changes and screamed at them on the phone, and then submitted a revised or Corrected Proof, which then became the second galley once St. Martin's set it up. Then they sent it back, and forth, until it became a corrected proof, then she agreed one way or another, and then they either edited it one last time before publication, or went with the last galley and published it. Good deal, there is nothing better than the uncorrected proof, other than Linda's own notes on her copy of the manuscript, which Kathleen I think has, unless Crystal broke into her house and grabbed it lol (just kidding!) Awesome, be truly psyched girl!!! Love, Carlo IP: Logged

Carlo unregistered	posted January 24, 2003 05:35 PM Oh you must be thrilled I swiped the image of it from ebay before your b/f bid, I hope you don't mind I'm sure it contains some wonderful things. Maybe you can make copies and we can pay you for them, that would be cool, I would buy one for twice your cost! get psyched girl!!! Love, Carlo IP: Logged
