  1. “Translation” for Tolkien misspelled on the cover. You probably already know that.

    Peace anyway.

    • Whoops, created that JPG from an early draft instead of the final one… Fixing now. Good catch!

  2. it would be befitting for erb, advocate of the slow church, to publish the Easter
    issue of your magazine in december and your advent issue in april.
