Just a random note, not a complaint: I’m based in the UK and when I click on an Amazon link, it automatically converts to the Amazon.co.uk equivalent, which works for some things but not for others. In this case no book appears and it tells me to check my spelling. In other cases, it has linked to the US edition of a book rather than the UK edition (so it’s pricier and has long shipping times). Not an issue as generally I can find the product myself easily, but just something I wanted to flag so you and others are aware about this issue with Amazon in other countries.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
