One more step towards my goal to see the woodgrain box in the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Though the one for the Smithsonian is going to need to be in better condition than mine.For me one of the most exciting things about the loan is the fact that the two books were placed in the same case as the Tolkien manuscripts. The down side is that particular case is the only thing in the whole exhibit that they are very strict about no photography.Cheers,Curt

I learned a heck of a lot from you all, and thought I'd share a funny story. This weekend, I went to the fantasy exhibit at the SciFi/EMP museum here in Seattle. In addition to other amazing fantasy stuff (uh, handwritten Tolkien notes, Henson's Dark Crystal notebooks, pages from George R.R. Martin's manuscripts, etc.,) they had a woodgrain boxset in one of the cases.
