Pre-Code.Com Site News for November 2014
So, how are you guys liking the new site layout? There are minor tweaks happening here and there, so I hope you enjoy it. I’m working to update every page as quickly as I can, though I’m going to be on vacation for most of November. Gotta love the holidays.
Those of you curious about Thoughts on The Thin Man (as well you should be!), the estimated book publication date I have is currently December 5th. All the pieces are together and getting one final polish, and the book’s cover carefully being laid out by good ol’ Cousin Barnabas. You’ll hear from me before that on twitter with the final date, though.
TCM’s selection is pretty paltry for the month, but there’s a couple of nice gems showing up like Gold Dust Gertie and Arsene Lupin.
Either way, keep warm, and eat some good food!

Dude. The site is looking FANTASTIC! Well done! I’m really digging the streamlined look x

Sweet, thanks Vanessa! The old site started feeling claustrophobic with all of the blackness, so I wanted something a little more peppy and colorful. Glad it’s working out!
