We hate to end the book on a downbeat note, but we have to admit one dread fact: Imponderability is not yet smitten. Let’s stamp it out.
“How?” you ask. Send us letters with your Imponderables, answers to Frustables, gushes of praise, and even your condemnations and corrections.
Join your inspired comrades and become a part of the wonderful world of
Imponderables
. If you are the first person to submit an Imponderable we use in the next volume, we’ll send you a complimentary copy, along with an acknowledgment in the book.
Although we accept “snail mail,” we strongly encourage you to e-mail us if possible. Because of the volume of mail, we can’t always provide a personal response to every letter, but we’ll try—a self-addressed stamped envelope doesn’t hurt. We’re much better with answering e-mail, although we fall far behind sometimes when work beckons.
Come visit us online at the Imponderables website, where you can pose Imponderables, read our blog, and find out what’s happening at Imponderables Central. Send your correspondence, along with your name, address, and (optional) phone number to:
