Invading the Amazon

By Matthew Lee Anderson in News

If you search by “author” for “Matthew Lee Anderson” on Amazon.com, two entries come up:

One of them is a book on Eighteenth Century Europe by Pamela Anderson Lee (not, of course, to be confused with Pamela Lee Anderson). 

The other has a chapter by me. 

Let the scathing reviews begin.

    I appreciate your self-deprecating self-congratulation.

    Congratulations from someone other than yourself, me.

    p.s. I’ll submit a purchase request to the Seattle Public Library. If they accept it, they’ll buy 5 copies easy. We liberals love to fund our libraries…

    I guess it should have said “us liberals,” right?

  3. Thanks, all. And yes, I believe “us” would be appropriate. But then, I’ve given up my editing days!

    Prufrock was right the first time. It’s “we liberals,” not “us liberals.” Use ‘we’ when it’s the subject, ‘us’ when it’s the object.

    Ah, we liberals also noticed that our friends Mark D. Roberts and Tod Bolsinger were contributors. Those two have been a big encouragement to us liberals.

    (Actually they aren’t political at all, and I’m more moderate than liberal. But I couldn’t resist.)
