yep

a new and simplified response. lets go w/ the final conception in X {QS phase 2].

the big version of the DoV would at my suggestion look thus:
Of Finwe and Miriel
Of Feanor and the Unchaining of Melkor
Of the Silmarils and the Unchaining of Melkor
Of the Silmarills and the Unrest of the Noldor
{{Of the Darkening of Valinor }}
{{ Of the Rape of the Silmarils}}
Of the Thieves Quarrel

Thus I suggest doing the 2 double bracketed chapters above , I include 'Of the rape of the silmarils' as it seems to have been a part of DoV in all prior conceptions and will complete the work on the chapter in the old format , whiledividing the material according to the final conception.

What say ye?



Also that will mean getting durelen X chapters { would you like me to keep an eye out for a used copy ? , I live in an area w/ an abudance and of used bookstores and tend to frequent them.


At the risk of pondering criminal activity online [is pondering a crime,criminal? ] , does anyone have scanning capabilities and then it can be emailed? I am not quite there yet [I have an Italian scanner that has a lame mac software card that I suppose I need to try again now that I have a computer that is only 5 years old instead of 7!]
