Ha! And now I am one of those lucky ones to have it as well! This morning, a mysterious envelope appeared in my mailbox... (or, well, behind my door... whatever) Just happy! Yeehaw!
I am going to get into reading it - and I'm certainly going to post feedback.  And maybe something more.(A note, for some reason it felt incredibly cool to get that book on my Finnish address... )P.S. And, sorry, but I just now randomly opened it and what I saw was a quote: "Pinnan alla / varjoissa Rhunin / on kolmas aika auringon" I'm really starting to think that Finnish is pursuing me... surely you can imagine the shock, in opening the book which has like three lines like that on one random page...

I'll be waiting
I'll be very interested to read what you have to say, Legate!
I just have to warn you, that you might take longer to post feedback than you imagine. There's a lot of complicated, though very rewarding, material between those covers...

Ah but for sure, and I probably could not read also as fast as I would like (as this really needs some time and cannot be read just as any "light read"... and anyway, I would not even like to read it "carelessly"!)... nevertheless, one by one, I will progress...

I extend my heartiest congratulations for the efforts of you three! Splendid. I'll be ordering it as well. Hopefully, the one I order will be the English version; if not, I'll just have to have my German mother-in-law read it to me in Deutsch over a bottle or two of wine.

You're lucky, Morth - the German volume isn't out yet. As long as you make sure that Music is spelled with a "c" and not with a "k" as Musik, you'll get the English book.
Also, the German translation of Middle-earth is "Mittelerde"...
