In the e-mail this morning, an important message from Amazon.co.uk. I bought from them, two or three years ago now, a single-volume compiled index to the History of Middle-earth series.

Wouldn't it have occurred to them that someone who bought the index already owned the volumes they're an index to? Apparently not.
