Indeed, it was not unusual for them to send and receive these lengthy faxes several times in a single morning, knocking a topic like romance editing, the latest bestsellers, cover images for a new book, or even some hot publishing gossip back and forth like a couple of top-notch literary tennis players! I'm sure if my mother had lived to see the widespread use of email, their daily correspondence would have taken on new and even more epic proportions!
