I'm assuming there aren't any concept images of it yet?

On that front, have anyone seen a mock-up of what the reverse jacket colors will be for Myths and Legends 2 yet? I am hoping they will mimic the original colors of the 1st editions - bright blue (Exodus), brown (F&G), magenta (Kullervo), deep blue (A&I), and red (Maldon’s deluxe slipcase) - but I haven’t seen anything yet.

Just a comment re shipping and packaging - I received The deluxe Biography from Kenny's today. Arrived unharmed. Of note that it was well packaged in bubblewrap and then a stiff oversized corrugated cardboard mailer which was certainly protective enough. It didn't come in a HarperCollins box inside, though (whether with the other robust packaging, the HarperCollins box would have increased or reduced the risk of damage, isn't necessarily obvious -- as the ends can crush on the HC boxes and then the book rattles around).
I will say this seems like a return to the deluxe range not completely sucking. No manufacturing-crumples head/foot of spine. Correctly fitting box, nice paper again (finally). Huge improvement over the middling-to-awful deluxe products in this range over the last few years. TL;DR book arrived safely and didn't suck -- which is a miracle!

Thanks will add references to this book soon, though we do have complete transcriptions of both Letters in the Guide.
I made a mistake. 4 letters are used to compile the foreword. What I thought to be "unpublished" are actually from the other two!

I had a look at the eBook version ahead of Trotter receiving the physical book. It is of course worth noting the page refs but as you remark, there is no new material here. Still, we want these instances logged so well worth the mention and anybody else who spots these sorts of instances are very welcome to let us know.
