Eh?
I might have messed up the page numbers particularly with tmm because I only ever listened to that one. <slight confusion>

I saw it too *shudders* but I don't think that's correct. Sorry, but when I read the editors letter I didn't see anything except Lemony going back and changing everything.

Lousy Lane was in there but it's an actual street not a book title.

For the love of the gods, it was mentioned throughout TGG! Plus my enraged and downright offensive post a few pages ago shows that Lousy Lane doesn't fit the criteria. It does not say "The Lousy Lane," it says "Lousy Lane" and is referring to a place. The title is always in block capitals, quotes, or larger letters. "Lousy Lane" is not. Allow me to elaborate on some points: On the normal typed letters, the book title is in block capitals. In a telegram (as in the Editor letter at the back of TVV), in which everything is capitalised, the title is in quotes. When the letter is handwritten (as in the Editor letter at the back of TSS) then the title is written in noticeably bigger letters. |

No, I thought he meant that it was an actual place not a pretend place in the books. I was commenting that I didn't see the mention of Lousy Lane in the editor letters.

"Lousy Lane ends in culdes-"
Or something like that in the first or 2nd tgg editor letter. It's in there but it's not the book 12 title.

If what u say is true did you notice that the words Anywhere near a match are underlined in the first letterwhy would lemony underline them it cant be the name can it? |

Those words are underlined for emphasis. "Lousy Lane ends in culdes-" Or something like that in the first or 2nd tgg editor letter. It's in there but it's not the book 12 title. It was saying that Lousy Lane ends in a cul-de-sac, or dead end. From the context one can tell that it's not the book title--especially because we already know Lousy Lane as a place name. I doubt that Lemony would recycle a place-name from an older book as a book title much later. However, it's possible that we'll end up traveling that lane, most likely to buy some horseradish.
