the land of the knee-walking turkeys

[phosfate]

Reading Bored of the Rings for the first time in 20+ years. It is truly shameful* how much of it I have down by heart, even now.

It is because of this book that, whenever I have been required to create a map, it is certain to contain a province or geographical feature called "Cantinflas."

*When I say "shameful" I of course mean "amusing as fuck."

I found a copy in a B Daton circa 1974, but that probably doesn't help you much. It was reissued last year in trade paperback:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451452615/qid=1011191839/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_67_2/107-5242804-5149310
It's been given a truly heinous new cover illustration, but is otherwise intact. Copies of the old edition still turn up in used-paperback stores for a buck or two.
