The Book Reviews section is now looking like I wanted it to look, with thanks to great advice from Pixie.

New reviews added today are:

'Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell' by Susanna Clarke, reviewed by Mike Gleason, and 'The Place of the Lion' by Charles Williams, reviewed by Mab of Dream.

The book reviews section was getting so big and unwieldly that it's had a bit of a revamp. However, there is more that needs to happen to it and I can't work it out at all.

After 5 hours last night and another hour today, it can just &*£% off before I put the computer through the window.

If anyone understands framesets or the base href tag in html, then please contact me on mab@witchgrove.org forthwith.

Thank you.
