And now the real cover image is finally uploaded. With the TORN announcement, the sales have picked up considerably:
A great tree may outlive many a Man, and may remember the seed from which it came ere all the Men that now walk the earth were yet unborn, but the rind upon which you lay your hand, and the leaves which overshadow you, are not as that seed was, nor as the dry wood shall be that decays into the mould or passes in flame. And other trees there are that stand about each different in growth and in shape, according to the chances of their lives, though all be akin, offspring of one yet older tree and sprung therefore from a single seed of long ago.

That's very cool, N.E.B. I'm very much looking forward to getting to meet Verlyn for the first time next week.
Of course, the really strange thing is that Amazon was selling copies of the book last week, only to go back to saying that it had not yet been released.

Re: Paperback edition!
Got a royalty check today. Not a very big one, but it still nice to know that people are still buying the book, more than ten years after the book was first released!

It's a very good book, Voronwë; anyone who wants to better understand the Silm will want to read it.

My copy has arrived. A quick flick through warns me I'll need my thinking cap well and truly on!

Re: Paperback edition!
I have to say, this isn't bedside easy reading. It's dense, esoteric, and incredibly thorough in its analysis.
Love it!

Re: Paperback edition!
I got my largest royalty check in years today. What a surprise! It is so gratifying to know that more than 12 years in people are still buying this book!
