Sorry, I'm linking to them as fast as I find them. Actually, in some case faster than I read them. I'm surprised I haven't duplicated my own links, never mind other people's

I've got mine now and I must say it looks really promising. The artwork by Alan Lee is fascinating! I read the introduction etc and even it made me excited (I had kind of calmed down, but now I'm excited about this again

).

Years from now, when our present day is as remote from men and women (or cyborgs) as the events of the First Age were to the Council of Elrond, people may still tell tales out of Middle Earth. If so, The Children of Húrin will be one of them.

EDIT just corrected wrong link

I am so intoxicated by the smell of a new seriously bound book that I haven't even read that much ...
