As long as it retains the Oxford comma, and it isn't removed by some AP-loving asshole.

By the way, Chuck, I think you would enjoy this book, but it (like Catching Fire) is not due out until September.

Mad Men isn't due to air until late summer either. I don't know what to do with myself until then.

That is a sad story, Chuck. I'm trying as hard as I can to get an ARC of Catching Fire, but I don't know if I can manage it.

Ooh, can't wait to read this one!!
And good luck with the commas... they've got something they call "House Style," and my house has never had Knopf's style -- although, I have to add that they have very good style, and I'm told I have "clean copy." This pleases me. But I swear they redo the style manuals hourly just to confuse me.
