Hold on PL check...As I was reading Chapter 2, I realized I read what must’ve been an illustration caption in Chapter 1. I’ll delete it and repost.

This book is charming. Do you have a limit on how many chapters one may read?

There is no actual limit, but I’d prefer you not to claim more than 5 at a time.
