I hope not! I just exchanged emails in late June (about a month ago). Perhaps the fact that the bibliography updates stopped suddenly (at least online) in 2003 led to a misunderstanding?

This is a fine place to announce it. I may create a classifieds discussion forum for this purpose, but it doesn't exist yet. Here is an experimental eBay listing block for your auctions - let me know if you like it or not, Wellinghall (and others).

Is this the right place for a quick plug of my current eBay auctions? - I've got some unusual fanzines of the 1970s - 1990s, as well as some other Tolkien items. I'll be putting up more over the next few days. Seller ID is also welinghall.

Hi folks

This page:

refers to, "the late Åke Bertenstam." Has he really passed away?
