Jon Peterson's Book and Scans

[finarvyn]

I'm about 200 pages into the book and really am loving it, except for the fact that as a textbook I get tired of reading after a while and need to go off to do other things for a while, then come back to read more. Amazing book.

Curious how he seems to have come out of nowhere. Maybe he has a presence on the Acaeum. I don't hang out there, so I wouldn't know, but it will be interesting to see how much of his research extends at all beyond the printed/collected material. In any case it is damn satisfying to see so much material finally being brought to light.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today. If you or one of the guys I know lurk on these boards had started such a project I'm sure I would have heard of it long before publication. This book was in such stealth-mode that it seems to have caught all of us by surprise, and it must have taken Jon a long time to research and write the thing. How could we all have missed hearing about it sooner? :?
