Khamul, Thanks for posting the link to the old thread, very interesting to reread it.
I noticed something unusual in the thread, Jeremy joined the website on the 26th May 2006 and as webmaster you would expect him to be first
skwishmi responding to my points, joined on the 31st December 1969, as Tolkien was still alive at the time it was a great shame that he did not get him to join. It is also remarkable being 22 years before Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented websites.

Incidentally Jeremy, other matter that might be added could just be culled from the older post(s). I couldn't be bothered reiterating all this, as the link is there for everyone to read for themselves. Off to get my dinner...

Khamul, I'd never state that any of the threads that I start are interesting, though your contribution has certainly pushed it that way
Khamul - Sweet, fancy Moses! I didn't expect anything nearly so detailed! Thank you very, very much!
Stu - As I only have 1-4 & 7 in paperback, I'd essentially be interested in having a look at whatever you're willing to part with!

Has anyone actually received any of the new POD HoME titles yet?
I received my HoME Index 1st Hb Ed. yesterday. Without going into any detail regarding uniformity or quality, I did notice that the copyright page has no mention of printing or publishing date i.e. '2010' is nowhere stated. Also, perhaps where the date should have been stated, it has a big typo, with nonsense and overlapping printed characters.
Anyone else got their copy? Copyright page typo present?

I pointed out your issues to David @ HC and he is investigating. Thanks for the tips! He said they just started printing them this week, so you are probably getting the very first few copies.

Sorry Mr Burns, I'm currently in the wilds of the Morobe province of Papua New Guinea, but I did a quick check before I left Australia and there were at least the copies I had previously mentioned (possibly more when I look in other boxes). I'll be back in civilisation towards the end of next week, so I'll do some snaps then.
It is currently raining very hard, but the view is very Fangorn-like with forest stretching between 50 and 100ks in pretty much any direction. Just hoping that my accommodation for the night doesn't end up at the bottom of the valley as heavy rain = landslips in these parts!
