MegaFox is one of the ones I still pull off the shelf to look stuff up now and then.

Wow!! That is some of the highest praise that we could get for the book.

FWIW, I think Whil made a mistake when he decided to name books with nicknames. I didn't realize it at the time, but I think the insider connotations were a turn-off

You are probably right, but KiloFox became a nickname for "1001 Things" way after the book was released. As I recall, the nickname was adopted by the UT community with the first suggestion made by Steven Black.
