Extract

Nobody knows exactly when and where Lady Ichnology was born; but everybody would agree that she is coming of age. There are unmistakable signs of this: social acceptance, for instance, or its own journal, and a progeny that can only be estimated from the yearly flow of publications and from a regular newsletter sent out in numbers that make book publishers greedy.
