This is slightly off topic for a Tolkien collecting forum but...

I just got a terrible sinking feeling that the website had got hacked again, after only 48 hours back online. All the ISBN numbers on the details pages had been taken over by a link to Skype and were trying to persuade me to call someone in Poland!

I have just got a new laptop and the oh so clever IE8 highjacks anything that looks like a contact number and converts it to a Skype link. Which genius thought of that we wonders... and why oh why is it set as default? Having never used Skype, it would have been nice if the feature had announced itself before it started merrily messing about with my webpages! Thankfully I have managed to workout how to turn off this "helpful" feature, so panic over.

Wonderful news Deagol!

Sorry for the late response, I have been on minimal background mode here for a while due to the day job.

Good to have you back, and I can't wait for the book!

this is good news

Deagol has updated the site www.tolkienbooks.net

****NEW**** TolkienBooks.net has a new look. Virtually all of the site has been updated with just a couple of Bibiography sections left to do and a few of the articles. ****NEW**** Printing and Binding Early Editions of The Hobbit has been added to the Articles Section. It is based on material that was lost when the site was hacked, but this has been significantly expanded to include new information.

Some more updates

****NEW**** New Advanced Search Function added allowing searches of individual fields in the Bibliography database. ****NEW**** The Slipcases and Boxed Sets section has been given an overhaul, with additional details added for each set and new photographs throughout.

As ever the site gets more useful
