I'm very much looking forward to receiving my copy!
On a side note can I ask why Outpost Gallifrey doesn't like posts about Obverse
Books?:
"What other kinds of posts are frowned upon?
6. All posts about The Who Shop, The Celestial Toystore, and Obverse Books (or
their Iris Wildthyme series) are strictly forbidden. [OG FAQ]"
I would have asked for clarification over there but I can't think of how to do
this without being frowned upon.
regards,
Mansoor
