I believe in open access scholarship. Because of this, since 2011 I have made A Pilgrim in Narnia free with nearly 1,000 posts on faith, fiction, and fantasy. Please consider sharing my work so others can enjoy it.

A Pilgrim in Narnia 
Hello Dale,
I just read your “$30,000/£22,000? 1st Edition of That Hideous Strength” article. Ah that does stir me, but I DON’T have kind of cash. I’ve had to settle for the cheap paperbacks mostly and a couple 1st/2nd editions I was lucky enough to snag in used rural book stores. And here’s some useless background trivia about me. I read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings while Tolkien was still alive…
In any case you may be interested to know that on my web site, Samizdat, I have an Ebook catalogue (PDF format) that contains most of Lewis’ published works. The catalogue can be accessed here

I expect you are aware this IS legal in Canada as Lewis’ works have been in public domain here since 2014… All are in PDF format. All are free.
Is there any chance I could use the map of “Edgestow” you have online here

and add it to my That Hideous Strength Ebook?
Samizdat has been online for 20 years now. While most of the content on my site is in French, there is a smattering of content in English. That can be accessed here

Hi Paul, thanks for the note. I wonder if you want this to go on the main discussion page?
I’m Canadian, so thanks for sharing Samizdat.qc.ca. It’s the second time shared with me today–and never before I think!
The Edgestow map links back to the Mythlore version and I think for personal use you could find it there. For use in the public domain version you’d have to reach out to the editor of Mythlore (through the website).
And I do prefer reading the paperbacks–but there are all kinds of reasons and ways to read.
