Just a plain standard hardback, I take it? (No deluxe?)
Ordered anyway --cheers wellinghall.
I see they're still peddling this rubbish about nobody knowing of its existence & only a handful of folk having seen it. What a pile of nonsense.

Today's Sunday Times also has an article about this and prints the first thirty-eight lines of the poem as well.
I just read it. "Even scholars were not given access" --is this actually true? I thought (I probably recall incorrectly) Fleiger (& perhaps Doug Anderson) were thinking (or had asked) about it's possible publication. I always assumed they (& others) had seen/read it. I may be confusing this with some comment I've read in regard to Tolkien's (alliterative and prose) translations of Beowulf though...

That is a good question, what else is in super secret section of the Bodleian? or does this exist at all?
I think Doug Anderson is involved with the new book.

What makes you say that? (--the Doug bit.)
Also, did you note that it says it will be published in the UK on May 23rd, but May 1st (earlier) in Australia?

Doug is not involved, my mistake 
Yes, why is it coming out in Australia 3 weeks earlier, very strange?

You don't need to score it through --that is what you thought!

Australians are illiterate criminals - it takes us longer to read it than everyone else.
Didn't know you were Australian Stu...
Btw, has anyone pre-ordered the "Deluxe" edition from Amazon.com?
(On the off chance there is a deluxe & this price is really cheap; which I doubt...)

Well, technically I am a Dual National, with British and Australian citizenships. The first thirty years were in the UK though, so I don't really count myself as an Aussie, except on paper. Plus, I'm moving to Queenstown in NZ next year, so I will be on the road to becoming a Kiwi as well.
