Guides to the small details that go wrong

The first four guides each take one practical detail, such as an address, a number or a time, and explain it slowly. The shorter pages after them answer one question each, about the hour, the room, the length, the technique or a busy date. In all of them the sentences stay short.

Where to start

Pick the page that answers the question already in your head, because none of them depends on another. A word you do not know yet, such as deposit or arrival window, has a short entry in the glossary. Reading a page books nothing: an hour is held only once a reply in the thread has named it and you have answered yes.

The shorter pages, one question each

For the hour: tonight, later today, late at night, after midnight or early in the morning. For the room: a hotel room, a holiday apartment and the district names on your map. For the length, begin with how long to book.

A guest choosing between two words can read nuru or body to body and tantra or sensual. A guest booking for the first time has ten short steps, and a couple has one line that says how many therapists. The busy dates come last, from King's Day to the night the year changes.
