NQ on CBC Monday

Posting on the eve of this long weekend - everyone have some fun plans? - to let you know we'll be on CBC Radio's On the Go on Monday, chatting up the Fall issue with Ted Blades, host extraordinaire. Enjoy the holiday; we'll be back early September. And get ready for your NQs, because we'll be shipping and delivering them next week!

What's most difficult is becoming honestly puzzled at the sight of properly spelled words - after a certain number of reviews, "acquisition", for example, just looks plain odd. (Surely it's not spelled with a "c" ... is it?)

Trust us, it was amazing, we'll show you...
