I quote from one of the recipients of a (paper) review copy of
Kai Lung Raises His Voice:
Quote:
This stunning gem only today landed in this unworthy person's
deficient and ill-formed hands. Your kindness is as the summer
sun on the forward parts of an automobile painted in an obsidian
shade: it warms almost to the point of conflagration.
As one who has in the past has made clumsy attempts at the
daunting and Byzantine art of typesetting, my appreciation
extends especially to the classically refined book design which
your work exhibits.
If anything, the lapidary prose in these tales is even more
finely overwrought than the other works I have seen by this
author. Consequently, it will be one of my most treasured
possessions. My gratitude is as the spring flood in the gorge of
the three great rivers.
May good fortune attend you and your revered Line
— John Shipman

And note also that the DRM-free ePub version
currently available at Lulu.com retains much of the elegant typesetting of the paper version, and has now been updated to have iTunes-friendly cover metadata.
