I bought CoH in paperback. Did I enjoy it? It's so sad... Do I enjoy any tragedy?? But this is different, I think. I have read the various peices, and was always sad when they abruptly end unfinished (his poetry is SO good) and ... Well, this is about LUTHIEN TINUVIEL and Beren Erchamion... (Would I buy a book solely about Galadriel, even though it was just a reorganization? You bet.) I think I will buy this in hardcover, and relish it, and read it with my toes toward the fireplace and perhaps a drink at my elbow, in awe of the whole concept of sub-creation and myth making.

One of the greatest elves in the history of Arda...

Yes, I am excited about this book.

Cheers, Professor, and cheers to your son as well. And thanks.
