Hey,

That was the "Solmukohta" book that you reviewed, not the "Knutepunkt" book. They both mean nodal point or something similar, but the name is different each year depending on what country it is run.

This year Solmukohta was in Finland.

Actually, newsalor, it's become a common courtesy to refer to the books as a line with the Norwegian name of the convention, if one is not using the English euphemism "Nodal Point". The use of the convention's first name is a kind of tribute towards the fact that the whole tradition was originally established in Norway - both the book and the event itself. The first commonly known KP book was the Danish 2003 one, but it sure wasn't the first.

I tried to make it clear that the convention series as a whole is usually known as Knutepunkt, while this year it was called Solmukohta because it was in Finland.
