Most interesting seeing as over at tolkien.co.uk there has been some debate as to whether Alex Lewis should take over after CT with some saying he is an 'expert'. Well yes, he's an expert enough, as much as any of us, but nowhere near the expert that Adam is!

And after the debacle with the self-written reviews of his books under a nom de plume, shall we say, I think he may have blotted his expensive copy of The Fall of Gondolin...he is also linked with one of the best known sellers on eBay (who is expensive and who I am not fond of after he beat me to an obscure book and then had it up for sale a week later at three times what he paid for it - which was too much anyway...) who sells 'rare signed copies' of his critical work

Hmmmm.....
