HFQ snippet request

Maybe we should ask him to post an "oopsie" snippet, ala "Storm from the Shadows"

I understand it. I just don't have to like it.

I forget, was that before or after he said he might just decide to snippet more of the book?

As posted elsewhere I don't see why he can't post a snippet every ten days and still keep within the first 30% of the book. He might have to shorten the average length a little, but, maybe not too. If he decides to make the posts further apart and irregular that's a marketing decision, which he is perfectly entitled to make, but I can't see what would force him to do so.

As he kindly explained he is away from home right now so a longer gap is perfectly understandable but not a precedent.

I believe that he did say that he might snippet more of the book in the same post where he announced that publication date for HFQ would be November of 2015.

I think myself that if I were doing the choosing, I would half the length of the snippets and keep the frequency at about the same as it was for LAMA.

Whimper, whimper, whimper. (Sad face) Check each day hoping against recent experience that the MWW has posted again after geologic eons of subjective time. Please sir, may we have another?

Hunger pains- gasp...

I think he said that he was taking a 2 week trip to Europe, so the next snippet might be late.

He can't post it while travelling, we'll just have to wait till he gets back.

Oh, we all know that, just kind of thought he'd maybe get a chuckle at the varied whines and requests. Think of it as a palliative for jet lag...
