*Not* an alphabet book

Roald Dahl fans take note: the paperback edition of Wendy Cooling's D is for Dahl: A Gloriumptious A to Z Guide to the World of Roald Dahl, is due out on August 16th. Dahl was just as weird as anyone who's read one of his books would expect, and Cooling's compliation is an excellent choice for anybody who has ever wondered how he got that way.
