The left and top sides are from the spines of American editions, and the right and bottom sides are from the British editions, right?

I have just sent "Whose Birthday Could It Be On This Date?" And that closes the project. Many thanks again, everyone, for all of your hard work, and another birthday successfully celebrated! Even though we should technically only be celebrating today.

They're all from the American editions - the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 12th books, respectively. I felt that the numerological motif should be kept consistent even in this small way.

May the meaning of life, the universe, and everything not trouble you on this day. Also, I quite like that subject line.

I an't really take credit for the 'hard work' of writing forty-two words, but thanks to Dante for organising it, and to all the brilliant artists as well as the writers!

More information as I receive it, although I get the impression that that might take a while. Be patient.

But again, I don't expect to hear anything for a while yet.

"One Hundred Years Of Solitude" is one of my favourite novels, and that quote is probably my favourite one from it.
