My copies have arrived and they are beautiful! Holographic foil! Thistle motif endpapers! Not to mention crammed with Buchan's superbly unsettling tales.

Just got my two comp copies of this -- years of my life (on and off!). I can't open it in case the first thing I see is a mistake. Anyway, it's only £100 if anyone needs a last-minute stocking filler.
