Thanks Saucepan.

Yes,unfortunately [although having tried my hand at something far more comprehensive I can sympathize] Tyler missed agolden, and prob his last opportunity to put out a masterpeice, but if it corrects alot of the semi-accurate and inaccurate material in the first and 2nd versions, that is still something.

I enjoyed his tone on the first 2 quiet a bit.

I bought the first one when tolkien was so big in the 70's [Silm just out] that it was in a grocery store [ a Giant to be precise]!

Does it still have that great cover of an emaciated gandalf and seriously dour dwarves?
