IMO, quotes should be offset and/or in italics to make it clear it was written IN the source and not in the wiki as a personal comment. I had to do a double-take :P. --Nerit 09:42, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well for my two wolf fangs, the title of Authors' Notes is an unmistakable indication. And I would distinguish this case from, for example, the Goblyn entry where there is an in game text from S that I did put in italics. So there are at least three categories here: in game; out of game creator; and out of game fan. An additional two points: massive italicing, which would be necessary for some of the Gazetteers as the Author's Notes are multiple and long, would not be pleasing I think; and italicing, in any case, really should be on two sides and probably right/fully justified too but I am not sure if either of those are possible. What do others think?Cure 12:34, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Again we come upon the question in my mind of: does this even belong here? Or should it be a summary and a link instead? In fact, reading it now, it's certainly interesting, but there's not much that's really relevant to the wiki page. Is your average person looking for info on this book going to care which parts Mr. King enjoyed working on most? I mean, I do, but I'm a certified Ravenloft nut. Couldn't we just have a link like this instead:

Author's Notes

Author Brett King shares his thoughts on the book

?? Do we really need all this cut and paste? -- Gonzoron 17:13, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
