Quotes to hang a story on

[Bob Schroeck]

BaconBooks? Google escapes me.

Sorry, a reference to Undocumented Features -- in the latest (chronologically) stories, one of the background details that keep surfacing, somewhere between running gag and internal trope, is the BaconBooks line of guides for the person in unusual situations, most of them written by Derek Bacon, with titles like:

* So You Just Arrived from a Parallel Dimension
* So You Aren't the Master Race: Coping with the End of Your Civilization's Dreams of Conquest
* So You Became Unstuck in Time
* So You're Not Who You Thought You Were: Coping With Manchurian Deprogramming
* So You've Just Crawled Out of a Vault: Surviving in a Post-Apocalyptic World
* So You Fell From A Great Height: A Celestial Outcast's Survival Guide to the Mortal Plane
* So You're Dead: A Non-Survivor's Guide To Valhalla
* So You Don't Want the Creature to Eat You
* So You Come From Ye 17th Centurie (co-written with Samuel Pepys)
* So You Probably Shouldn't Have Eaten That
* So You Come From Australia
