:lol:

I don't feel that this needs a 'Spoiler' as I am revealing nothing of what is contained in the intellectual portion of the book.

WOW!

This sucker weighs in at 1014g / 2.24 pounds! I do believe that makes it the heaviest book currently in my library. If I were traveling by air, I'd definitely prefer the ebook. If this book were to drop on Newton's head, we'd be saying "Isaac who?" :?

Still not reading it yet, late home and early to hospital for dying brother. Priorities you know! He is going to a vastly better place as he has spent decades imprisoned as a quad and bed-bound for past 2 years. The shout of JOY and RELEASE should ring through Heaven when he arrives!

To be honest, much as I appreciate it, the backmatter is getting a little out of hand.

God bless on the situation with your brother. As true as is what you said here, it's still not easy for those left behind.

I got it, I got it!!!!! 15 hours after the midnight release it arrived. So my day and a good part of my night are now fully scheduled.

Looked at the maps and there's a bit more detail, and the arrows in Siddarmark are certainly intriguing!

Ok, I won't be coming up for air for air until at least tomorrow, when I can participate in the SPOILER threads.

WHEEEEEEE!!!!

Mine arrived yesterday afternoon and was waiting for me when I arrived home last evening. I just finished reading it for the first time. When is the next installment due? I'm ready!!

The lengthy glossary and index of characters led to a rather unpleasant surprise for me. I was happily reading along and suddenly the book was over. I was caught by surprise by the final chapter because there were so many pages left.

Yeah, you have that nice tactile feel of more pages and then, BANG it is page 580 and from here to 784 it is 204 pages of reference! :o
