Ok, I know I have a perverse turn of mind, but the phrase 'A silent but deadly terrorist threat.' on the ad for 'Quantico' on you opening page strikes me as an unfortunate turn of phrase.

This had been noted before--and it's not on the final jacket. Wonder what you all are thinking of?

I'm pretty sure my copy says "a real ripper of (a) yarn" :)
I guess some things are cross-cultural ;)

Beans for breakfast, anyone? (One of my UK morning favorites: beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and bangers...)

Not the strangest names in UK Cuisine, or world cuisine, for that matter. "Pigs in a blanket" makes some sense, but "Naked babies in the grass"? (Denmark, I believe...) Then there's my favorite in one of Edward Gorey's Earbrass panels, wherein Mr. Earbrass discovers he has an autograph (or has signed a book--I forget which) "Will you ever forget the Bloaters?" I happen to like bloaters quite a lot, actually...
