This has been my insomnia book since September, far more successful than my previous efforts at choosing insomnia books (note for self and other insomniacs - mystery stories actually not such a great way of getting to sleep; thoughtful books about material which you are already very familiar with are a much better idea

I have it on excellent authority that your intelligence on Volumes 8 and 9 is correct ;-)

Your last point illustrates how these books have outgrown their original format...

Yeah, I wonder if the answer is "because endnotes work better for ebook formatting and it's a pain to change footnotes from print edition to endnotes for ebook editions." Or maybe that's just because I'm the one who does most of the ebook formatting in this house, and that's by far the thing I most hate doing. :)

The series goes back twelve years and I'm not sure how large eBook formatting loomed. The first volume published - the first edition of volume three - is a lot thinner than the others, as you may know, and was less burdened with notes than its successors.

Oooh, I'd somehow missed that this was out. I love the About Time series - I'll have to pick this up.
