Just wanted to say that this story blew my mind, and I'm forcing all of my friends to read it.

Yikes. I have a Clockwork Orange-type scenario in my head now.

My thought on finishing this was "everything I could want in a fantasy story." The full cast was lots of fun and I loved the story. Just excellent.

Sean McMullen's "Greatwinter" series has a lot of Bibliofiction. In fact, most of the main characters in the first book are somehow related to (or actually are) Librarians, and the most powerful person in the known world (in the book) is a Librarian.

I guess I have to bring up Blake Charlton's Spellwright and the others in that series. It's a unique magic system, as far as I can tell, and I enjoyed the first one very much.

I invent imaginary people and make them have conversations in my head. I also write.

Lots of praise already for this one.  I just want to add my props to Peter Wood's audio work.  That must have been an absolute beast to put together.  Well done, sir.

Thanks! It was a bit beastly, but I was happy to do something special for 200. I'm already thinking thoughts for 300 . . .

I have been listening to podcastle for quite a while, yet this is my first posting. I load podcasts into my iPod and listen when I'm out and about. Anyway, I know it has been a while since anybody posted, but I just HAD to post. This was an AWESOME podcast. You guys rock, and I hope you full cast more!

This episode was voted the fourth best PodCastle story of our first ten years, and was re-aired as PodCastle 516b.

Please note: When singing Podcastle "happy birthday", don't sing too loud. We don't want to wake the manticore.

I haven't heard this one, and it was awesome! I wish there was more about this inexplicable library. Also enjoyed hearing the voices of some old friends.
