Looking Good, being Bad
Has anybody read it yet? One wonders if "Peter Caws" is the idiot at the front of the Church of the 15th Anagram - nice one, Adrian!

Hi, I live in France and I'd like to get hold of a copy, but Amazon doesn't have it. Any ideas? Thanks.

OK I have read the book twice now and love it. It has taught me so many more ways of looking good and being bad but am puzzled by a couple of
things...google didnt help.
I am not a Latan study person but what does the sign mean...SITUS USUSFRUCTUN ADDIT
and what is Adrian refering to in the prologe p 13 as to Peter Caws?
I am Australian and some of his humor is very English so please help.

Hi
"Peter Caws" is an anagram of "Screwtape" as in the bok " The Screwtape Letters" by C S Lewis. The Screwtape in question is a senior devil, writing
letters to his nephew Wormwood, instructing him on how to prevent a person from becoming a Christian.
My Latin is rusty, but I'll try and work it out and get back to you.

Situs ususfructun addit = Being thirsty leads to profit / Thirst brings profit ??!!
I haven't read the book so I don't know the context of what you're talking about!
