Thanks Gawain.

No problem, Deagol. I'm delighted to see it on your website.

A copy with a beautiful original dustjacket was just displayed in the FB group.

That’s me. The dust jacket is from this copy (2/18/22), though the book itself was recently sold. Here is my original post on acquiring it (6/30/22).

Well i seem to have missed out on this (it happens more and more and seems to be correlated with age). Belated congratulations and deep envy.

Philomythos Can you tell us more about The Digressions in Beowulf volume? I'm not familiar with it.

Just to add this here:

One interesting thing that is very hard to take a picture of (I will not remove the plastic covering) is that the author’s name “Haigh” is printed along the middle of the spine of the DJ (see next to last picture and look closely in the red box). This feature is (as far as I can tell) absent from the other two DJs that I’ve seen photos of. The text shows considerable fading but may not be original. The suggestion that it was added later seems likely, as the book it came from had two ex libris labels inside: George Redmonds and Clifford Stephenson.

Hey Stu, I have a copy of this book coming to me soon, do you still have the clean high res image of the dust jacket on hand? If so, am I able to request the file from you? Oh, and do you know what real world size should this be printed at? Thanks in advance!

Yes, I have two files (one with a paper texture and one without). I'll PM you the links later on. The files are sized correctly for the book.
