And while I found the process quite intense and compressed, I was

extremely--deeply--impressed by the judges, their >quality, care,

knowledge, and commitment to do a good job.

I don't doubt that for a minute, Pat, and I hope my comment wasn't taken to

suggest that. Not being a member, I haven't entered my book -- which (ahem!)

is titled Best of Green Space: 30 years of Composted Columns, contact me or

Betty Mackey for a review copy -- where was I ...?

Oh yes, I haven't entered my book, but I would like to think that it

couldn't be very well evaluated in ten or fifteen minutes that judges might

be able to allow it if they are looking at fifty to a hundred books in two

days. It seems that books with lots of pretty pictures and elaborate layout

would have an edge.

Hint to authors entering books that deal in words: Crimp the corners of the

good parts, just like Peyton Place.
