    The site is killing my brave browser. Maybe long thin transoceanic paths, or phase of the moon.

    So many partially loaded images.

    But definitely worth the wait. A great read. I liked the almost mimetic quality of "which slightly broken font plate is being reused to make the broken "3" I keep seeing" which is a classic detective novel trope, e.g. Lord Peter Whimsey in "strong poison" and a typewriter glitch he recognises.
