Where can we get some background information on this? I don't know where to start.

Ah, Jasper Fforde is a brilliant author who wrote a series of books. Thursday Next is the heroine of the stories. You can check out thursdaynext.com. These books take literature and humor and add it together and it's hysterical.

The books have an awesome concept and I have the first 2, but haven't gotten past the first several chapters of the first one yet. Won't get to them for a while unfortunately.
Heard him on an interview on a local radio station last winter. Very interesting sounding guy. He was doing a couple of book signings that day and the next in the city, but it was very snowy weather then, and I wasn't inclined to get myself there unfortunately.

I like the site, especially the way he's done the index page:

Looks like he's going to be at a bunch of book fairs and festivals in England in March.
