QMs: Manish Achuth and Rajan TR

Some of us at KQA would like to compliment the quiz-masters on their choice of title, particularly for the neat insertion of the highly distracting term ‘clean’.

Event II
Pilferages

And what the duck is that? Largely a case of Life imitating Art. After someone made a crack about Persiflage being Persiflage last year on the Good Book online (aka AJM) , and somebody else pointed out that Pilferages was a neat anagram for the title, we decided that we should have two book quizzes going in opposite directions on the same day.
