Industrial novels edit

Industrial Novel is something I would not choose to bill this book. Methinks campus novel is a more proper title, following from Changing Places and Small World. Best to Univ of Rummidge and anyone around, MarkBeer 06:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Error in Tripney's review edit

In Natasha Tripney's review of Lodge's Campus Trilogy, she makes a major error about Nice Work, when she says that it is set in 1979. That time is actually closer to Small World. The opening sentence of Nice Work even states 13 January 1986 as the date at the start of the novel. Perhaps, to be charitable, Tripney confused the time settings of Small World and Nice Work.
