Prof. Leonard's recent post reminds me to cross-post this to the members
of SHAKSPER (those of you who are on Milton-L as well, please forgive
the duplication):

Good news, all: I have just received word that Amazon has officially
opened its UK site, hyperlink <A
href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/026-8830702-5850626">Click
here: Amazon.co.uk</A> for those who can access it, URL below for those
who can't:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/026-8830702-5850626

Even better news is that SHAKSPER listmember John Leonard's new edition
of Milton's Complete Poems is also available there, as it is not (yet)
in the US. The hyperlink for that is <A
href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140433635/qid=909066696/sr=1-1/026-8830702-5850626">Amazon.co.uk:
A Glance: The complete poems</A>, and the URL is:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140433635/qid=909066696/sr=1-1/026-8830702-5850626

The price is £9.59, roughly $16, I think, at the current exchange rate
($1.62 when I checked the other day).

Congratulations are in order and happily sent on from this corner!  I
have contacted Amazon about getting the edition through the US system,
and will be happy to pass on whatever information they send me to anyone
on the List who is interested, if you will contact me directly at
cbartonb@aol.com.

Best regards (and resounding success, John!),
