Subj: proofs

Date: 2/1/00

I got a certain distance with this proofing job, but now I need help. And I’ve reached page 275.

The proofreader couldn’t stand it and wants all Scaliens and Squarks in lower case. I can’t stand it either so I gave in.

You left boldface crap throughout. Most were just for each other’s attention, can be romanized. One was a note, me to you, excised.

“Schatoma.” I took your word for this word. Proofreader can’t find it. Is it real?

Planet Hollywood: disappeared? Is it a problem? I said, “STET, they might rebuild it.” This scene is all nostalgia anyway.

Belsen becomes Bergen-Belsen?

“Zarathushtra” is old Iranian for Zoroaster. Make a decision: which?

Proofreader quarrels with your interpretation of Bombay history:

Ref Encyclopaedia Britannica on-line, in 1661 Bombay came under British control as part of marriage settlement between King Charles II and Catherine of Braganza, daughter of King of Portugal. I never checked any of this. What happened? What should our characters think happened?

I’ll keep going. Get back to me soonest. They put a close deadline on us.
