I just spent a thoroughly enjoyable hour reading Tina at the Oral Surgeon's office. As I suspected, Tina would be no where near as entertaining without the clever and informative notes provided by the Rocky Mountain Lace Guild. I liked the part where Tina, discovering a fire, breaks a glass door into "atoms" in order to rescue the prince who had partaken of a powerful anodyne. Expectantly, I turned to the margins to see if the editors had presented an explanation of the state of atomic science in 1882. This appears to be one area they have not addressed in their otherwise exhaustive explication of the milieu in which Tina occurs. However, they have provided an artist's rendering of the "broken token" that will no doubt solve the mystery of Tina's parentage, a lengthy note on the jewelry and possessions of the real life Ferdinand Maximillian and Marie Charlotte who are fictionalized characters in the book, and a pattern for a tatted bag like the one that Tina carries with her. What more could you ask for in a book? Devon
