I noticed the use of "dilled" as well and from short time I spent with Ms. Altshuler I am sure it was a very deliberate choice and an admirable one.
Also, Mr. Dolan, it never occurred to me to reverse engineer the thing and determine what books I might like based on my pickle preferences. My faves are pickled carrots (!!!) and cauliflower…

Also (semi-spoiler alert) there is big news coming next issue re: rubber plant BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE.
The relationship between pickles and books, if shown to be true, would sour me on the whole affair. I eat all sorts of pickled things also. Pickled asparagus is overrrated. The onions, especially as offered with shawarma is the BEST. I love sauerkraut and can remember back to my dad and a friend making it in the basement. I think just an excuse to spend an afternoon together. The industrial tool for shredding cabbage was far and away the most dangerous thing in our basement, akin to a mandoline the size of a washboard. Weird what you remember.
Whatever happens to the rubber plant, I am confident your readers will remain flexible. Okay, two pun limit reached.

BTW you LOST me with Edith Wharton :( -- I will continue to hide your secret in plain sight...
