My copy arrived Monday. I agree that the maps are wonderful, as are the illustrations. I especially liked the WW2 influence in Book 1, with the constant map updates of the situation on 'the Front.'

While my eyes would have preferred typesetting, I think that David is correct in that it reads better in Dennis Bird's original writing.

I also noticed a hint in Book 2 of the futurists' suggestion that Timothy and Molly Blackett will get together. (Capt. Flint reads her letter and says something like "Love to All must include Timothy.") Perhaps future Bird editions would give Nancy and Peggy a ship's baby of their own.
