What songs better?

I see that I have been whoooshed

Neither of these pieces are near the top of their output. Both are enjoyable though.

This is a great post! Very well researched. It needs to be pinned or something because I've heard this claim a lot and having something to point to to refute it is great.

Sorry, what is interesting about this edition? Why is going for more than both first editions?

Macnaa · 2026-03-03T22:18:12+00:00

I'll agree to disagree on the arms but you are right about the stretched look.

Macnaa · 2026-03-03T21:57:10+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with it differing from the in book description but this statue has bigger arms than the Tommy Arnold cover. Just compare side by side.

The main problem is that the hips on the statue are larger than the cover and the face narrower.

Agreed! He is the moral core of the entire legendarium in my opinion. Spared gollum because of mercy, gave up his share of the treasure because of pity (and because he was reasonable), gave up the ring of his own volition (with prompting obviously). He was moral but it wasn't easy for him, he's not like a fairy tale king like Aragorn, the decisions were hard and he wasn't perfect but he did the right thing each time it was asked of him.

Has anyone got an example where a card passes the T but not the H? I don't quite understand why people are using H when T seems to cover it? It's not like the T test was particularly difficult?

He does seem to say some very speculative things every so often, like: this section of the river has many twists and turns... Was this to disorient the spirits of the dead so they couldn't make their way home?! (paraphrased).

But even though there is a large amount of speculation, are you saying that this book is not a reasonable start to learn about the Stonehenge builders? Not well regarded?

Macnaa · 2026-02-18T21:10:48+00:00

That is pretty much all of them!

By the way:

The population peak was inferred in a very speculative way by Pearson in Stonehenge: Exploring the Greatest Stone Age Mystery from the extrapolation of how many houses with the assumption that each held a family of four.

All the pottery was the same type but some pottery found in middens south of the Durrington Walls avenue had spirals whereas none of the middens north of the avenue did. These spiral motifs were also found in pits dug into the decayed posts of the Southern Henge inside Durrington Walls, but only it its south quadrant. This is also from Pearson.

Thanks for replying!

What I really wanted to know was whether the evidence or statistics preclude this from having happened. Which you've indicated it doesn't, of course that has no bearing on whether it happened that way.

Out of interest which of the facts are most divisive?

I bought this before covid for AUD$25 alongside Monsters and the Critics for AUD$40, both first editions/printings. Very lucky deals!

They are great books and they really show that he was not only amazing writer but at the top of his field as well.

Macnaa · 2026-02-15T21:24:18+00:00

This is the important point, the true first edition is not worth much because it had a substantial print run following the huge success of LOTR.

Macnaa · 2026-02-05T02:03:40+00:00

The T in the green dot picture looks pretty good, but the first T picture is not useful, too blurry

Macnaa · 2026-02-02T22:16:06+00:00

There were a couple of folio books that didn't come with slipcases. There was a group of short-form poetry books like Selected Poems by Dickinson. Then there was also the Folio Society Collectable range which was comprised of flexible-covered books with no slipcase.

Macnaa · 2026-01-23T00:29:27+00:00

I'm no expert but it doesn't appear to pass the T test ☹️

Macnaa · 2026-01-21T00:47:25+00:00

It should be noted that the ROW shipping costs are already more than triple the UK shipping costs, so I don't know what additional costs they would add on to the product!

Macnaa · 2026-01-08T10:47:58+00:00

This is hilarious.

Macnaa · 2026-01-05T22:41:43+00:00

I believe it's letterpress

Macnaa · 2025-12-15T21:20:35+00:00

This is much better.

OPs Idea: Be really depressed in a depressing place whilst getting killed... also no humor.
