*yay*

Look what the postman brought yesterday. I saw it months ago, on amazon. The cover was different, therefore I pre-ordered, and waited, and waited, and waited for this edition to be released. I think the cover is adorable.
As is the book. An alphabetized encyclopaedia of existence of and by a woman who (quote): was not abused, abandoned, or locked up as a child (...) did not live in poverty, or in misery, or in an exotic country. Is not a misunderstood genious, a former child celebrity, or the child of a celebrity. (...)
It has tables, a helping guide to readers who are not familiar with commen American ordinary traditions, letters, pictures and drawings (e.g. an amazing comparison in Identity: Experiment: How might I look as a WANTED poster, a) drawing based on father's description to police sketch artist and b) drawing based on husband's description to police sketch artist.
This is one read I look forward to. Se more here:) Happy sunday:)
