Managing editor's Post-it note: Does this mean Oxford University? If so, let's make it clearer.

Original text: "Buchan was educated at Oxford."


At Oxford. Not in Oxford, you daft apeth. At Oxford.
So just to be annoying, I've amended it to be specifically Brasenose College.

On another front, though, I've just gone along with changing 'tales', used in one paragraph of a back-cover blurb, to 'stories' "because the book's title includes ...'and other stories'". Is it stupid? Yes. Can I be bothered to explain why? No.

The woman has a tin ear for language.
