Instead of picking up a single review copy and going all the way through it, then doing that with the next one on the pile, and so on, we grabbed all the copies of a chapter and spread them on the ottoman at once (where\u00a0we had room to turn all their pages &#8212; the auxiliary writing cave has a big ottoman). Not only was it more efficient mechanically, but it allowed us to compare the notes immediately\u00a0when\u00a0different readers commented about the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>If, on some future occasion, we devise a more interesting solution to this issue you&#8217;ll certainly read about it here.
