With the recent publication of Classical Novae, edited by Bode and Evans, there is no need for me to give a list of novae or their overall characteristics. Furthermore, probably the most interesting developments in the past few years in studies of novae during quiescence have been in those areas (magnetic systems, long term brightness variations) which are reviewed separately at this conference. So that leaves me with the task of making some general comments about recent trends in the more mundane aspects of quiescent novae. However, what may at first sight seem mundane often has importance to theoretical interpretation.
