Fun and Troublemaking











Oh no! I’ve enjoyed The Manual of Style so much. Sorry to see it go. You had a great run!
what sad news! Austin, I hope this means you’ll be doing something even cooler.
Oh man, Austin. That’s terrible news. You’ll be missed, brother.
I’m sooo disappointed. I literally just found you with your last post – and now you’re gone! I enjoyed the wit and attitude of the older posts, and hope there’ll be something similar popping up soon.
I’ll miss the intelligent and good humored look at books and publishing you’ve shared here. Best of luck to the entire Abbeville team.
