That production error... I'm speechless.

Had some time this evening to read some of the treasures in the book, my immediate impression, and I hope you take this as a compliment, it is intended as one, is that you have managed to put together a book that could be subtitled 'For Dummy's'. And what I mean by that is you have managed to keep things as simple as possible (for the average reader) without losing Tolkien’s presence. Well done Carl. This is fascinating stuff.

Thanks, onthetrail, and everyone else! I really appreciate your support!
