I started reading the series back in the early 70’s in high school. This sounds good. I’ll have to buy myself a copy, too.

Sounds series!
My copy arrived today! It’s beautiful. The illustrations are fabulous. Of course, I skipped through it to see them first. I’ve only read the preface so far. I’ll start the story tomorrow. I’ve read it before in it’s other forms, but this is going to be fantastic!
Now all I need is Sam Raimi to direct The Hobbit and my Middle Earth life will be complete!
Considering Pete is a huge Evil Dead fan and pretty much resigned to not being able to make The Hobbit with New Line anymore, I can't see why he wouldn't give Sam full support.
Now how can you say, "I have read all of Tolkiens versions of that story, as well as the Kalevala, part of which the story was based on," when it's refuted right there in print!
(Congrats on your hard work.)
