Happy mail day!

Our copy of the new Our Troth (Volume One: History and Lore) arrived today! I've just glanced through it and it looks like the changes made have been considerable (lots that wasn't in the online version). I'm looking forward to it.

I did order the hardcover version, and while the quality of the physical book is not staggeringly impressive, it's also not too bad (of course my expectations may have been raised by the phenomenally nice Chisolm Edda that came out earlier this year! :)).

I wasn't aware that was even still in print. Cool.

For many years it wasn't--they've just finished the revision. It's probably my favorite book on heathenry so having it in paper (I hate reading things online if I refer to them often) is very nice.

You're one of very few people so far who have this. Could you possibly do a review/summary of what's been changed for Fire and Ice? Need not be long, but I think you can imagine what we all want to know.

I have to say one of my favorite changes is the name useage, now to more common names than the German deity names.

Definitely a good change, that one.

Hm. Well, I'd never seen the real original Our Troth, just the online version--and that's no longer there to compare with.
