CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
How very kind of a certain Miss Grayson to leave a 5-star review of our Field Guide to Identifying Unicorns By Sound over at Amazon's U.K. store. She concludes: "A very lovely little book to own and keep forever."
Meanwhile, a certain Paolo bestowed four stars to our Divination by Punctuation over at Amazon U.K., noting that "Some intuitions are worth the whole book!"
