    Not sure yet but things are moving along. Its just a proof for editing purposes etc. However its a step closer which is nice. If I can I will post a scan of it when I get it. I think you guys will enjoy it but it really needs some heavy editing so be patient (not that you havent already after 8 years in the works...)

    This better be the best book of all time. This better be so good I'm burning copies of Othello to warm myself whilst I read it. If it's anything less than sensational you're in big trouble, mister :twisted:
