Hi Laura -- I'm so glad that you're adding the Mills & Boon stuff. It's a particular area of weakness for me. I am making one small change to your pages, due to the fact that the "&" is a trigger for programming:

[[Mills and Boon|Mills & Boon]]

I learned this when I tried to add Pride & Prejudice -- and kept making myself crazy because I knew I'd done it. There are a few punctuation marks that programmers decided weren't really important and made them triggers for actions (like the @ mark).

Yes to the Mills and Boon titles -- as they are hard to purchase here, I am especially weak in that area. I'm working on capturing a lot of the older category lines that were U.S. based right now.

As for gushy, when I get highly personal, I often put my signature on my commentary to make it clear that it's a personal decision (the signature button is the second from the right). I don't normally copy out cover copy because of copyright issues -- also I am genetically incapable of *not* changing words. I must rewrite everything. Whenever possible (and time permitting), I like to give enough about the book to help readers who are seeking things and to highlight key aspects of the text (quotable lines, etc). It depends on the book.

Also, you'll notice that I created a page for Pamela Regis -- you and some of the other professors might want to have your pages as well for biographies, etc.
