Congratulations! Will there be an e-edition? I just went to Kobo to pre-order a copy, but didn't find one. I did find a print edition available at Amazon, but that's all. When you have a chance, please let me know if there will be an e-edition, and thank you!

Hi Brian: Thank you!

I've sent a quick email to our editor to ask about whether or not they do e-books, and if they do, when it might be available. I had not considered the question before, so I'm glad you asked.

I am so, SO excited for this! My respect for you three was through the roof anyways, but I particularly appreciate the way you've dealt with the cover thing. The point about not releasing the TOC publicly devastates me though - I completely understand why, but it's a very sobering reminder of how far Tolkien scholarship still has to go :( Still, pre-order is in and I couldn't be more excited to read it!

Thank you! We're so happy to have gotten it done (the past few years feel more like a century).

It is tough--but given where we are today, I think it's more an internet culture that reflects the extreme polarization of what is becoming a literal "culture war" (I always recommend people look at Alexandra Minna Stern's _Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate: How the Alt-Right Warped the American Imagination_ for the history of how we ended up here: https://www.beacon.org/Proud-Boys-and-the-White-Ethnostate-P1470.aspx)
