- Harvey Ginsberg, was Dorothy Dunnett's second American editor and a good friend. He recollects several incidents in their long association. 'Certainly, one of the vividest is my writing or telling Dorothy that she and Nabokov were the only authors I read with a dictionary by my side'. Other recollections were being shown around Edinburgh by the Dunnetts and a trip to a baseball game when they visited New York. Dorothy Dunnett's novels 'still remain among the novels I have been most proud to have been associated with'.
