heh, I just picked up 'The Well of Lost Plots' in Nice airport, more or less at random. Very enjoyable, even though I haven't read the first two.

Cool. I'm glad to hear that they stand on their own. But if you haven't read any of them, I do recommend starting with the first (The Eyre Affair) and reading them "in order."

There are a couple of story arcs that carry across individual novels.

I suspect that should be "fforde", not "Forde". The double lower-case f for F is one a them English affectations. If you use swash italic f's (or florin signs) you can sort of see the capital letter in the negative space between the two small letters.

If you didn't start reading it, try the audiobook!
It's really great. Listen to it on your own, because chuckling or even loughing out loud without others seeing the reason for it are by convention a sign of madness.
