Thank you Joost - I have just invested in a copy! The website helpfully displays some of the content of the book and so now I am eager to see my copy.
Thank you so much for your comments and your purchase, Charlotte! Truus and I of course very much appreciate both. You will find that the book in reality is far more impressive than the website. The physical impact is something very powerful which many comment on after receiving their copy. This is just one of those instances where I think a book "has it" over anything we could have done on the internet. I say this as someone who has recently published a truly vast scholarly work in the area of English Renaissance literature on-line. For that purpose, the new technology proved pretty well ideal, as it enables readers to link several matters with impressive speed, and allowed me far more content than a hard copy version would have done. But Truus's book is a work of art by itself partly because it is a "real" object. She is dealing with orders we have received, including yours, at speed. Your copy will be sent to you from within England, on Monday. Thanks again, and best wishes! - Joost
