Katrina
Our thoughts are with all feeling the effects of the damage wreaked by Hurricane Katrina.
Think about sending the American Red Cross a few dollars or donating blood. They need all the help they can get.

The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy available through Jane Austen Books
Alert Janeite Mandy wrote to tell us that the very popular P&P retelling, The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy by Mary Street, has been reprinted and is available via Jane Austen Books. The book is No. 251 in the current catalog (scroll down on the page linked) and costs $33. Only 500 copies are available, and Jane Austen Books is the only place in the U.S. to get it, so make haste!
We can speak from experience that Jane Austen Books is a reliable bookseller, so order with confidence. You cannot purchase books online, but they do take phone and fax orders as well as mail order.

Full P&P3 U.K. and Ireland site available
Alert Janeite Erandika wrote to tell us that the full U.K. and Ireland site for P&P3 is up and running. It includes some short clips from the film (click on “Pride” and “Prejudice” and then a character name; also click on the links to different characters that pop up at the bottom of the page). There are also screensavers and wallpaper to download. Some of the clips are new, but we cannot tell you which ones as we haven’t the patience to wait for them to download.
Dialup and Flash = NOT perfect together. Grr.
Proofreader’s Corner: They spelt “Prejudice” correctly in the page title, which is still misspelt on the U.S. site, but they should have taken the “test” out, unless this is still a test. Is it?
ETA: GAH! Miss Proofreader McSnarkypants forgot the link. It’s there now.
