Good headway during the weekend on the new book and a new chapter in it. This book, however, has to deal with such massive amounts of material, that I may either end up making it one very long (and expensive) book, or break it up into two or more. At this stage I don’t know.

Ah, both/and.
lol… touche.
If long and expensive means hours of poring over and emphatic annotation then count me in !
DON’T skimp on the footnotes!
I want heiroglyphs, Akkaddian verbs and graphic representations of space-time cells. In (gasp) hardcover.
I want cryptos and cryptos only!
I vote for the “lengthy tome” option!
I suppose vellum is out of the question ?
I just finished a 600 page monster in “The Invisible History of the Rosicrucians” by Tobias Churton, so a “thick” new book would not be a problem.
Now this DOES sound interesting ..
Found this novel by another Churton – or maybe the same author since the protagonist is called “Toby”!

That book is a novel, and Churton did write it.
That sounds like an interesting book. Was it any good?
Churton says that he believed Johann Valentin Andreae wrote the manefestos, but also says that there was a never a Rosicrucian society or breatheren. He says that Rosicrucianism was associated with Plato, Dee, Flood and all the usual suspects because of it’s message. There is a lot of religious “chat” in it and the book was a very big “Harveys Barn” type of book, in other words it’s long winded to the extreme.
This is what bothers me about such books: the persistent attempt to ignore what contemporaries thought: MOST of them, Robert Fludd and Leibniz included, thought this group was real, yet, academic scholarship does not attempt to delve into why these very intelligent people thought this. It’s similar, in some respects, to the trend in academic studies to dismiss both Plato’s own claims to have a “secret doctrine,” and the claims of his successors in the Academy. Fortunately THAT trend is being reversed somewhat. and scholars are taking the notion much more seriously than even a few years ago. But I have to wonder why this trend has NOT yet manifested itself with respect to another obvious statement of the same idea, i.e., the Rosicrucians.
I hope there is some material on cryptoterrestrials in your upcoming books.
If so, I will buy KINDLE version if there is one, for the version that will have cryptos in it.
Joseph doesn’t allow Kindle versions of his books.
I really don’t care with regards to “I want” or “I hope” .. All of Josephs books are epic .. I have yet to read one that hasn’t blown me out .. somewhere amid the lines ..
Needless to say .. this one won’t disappoint ..
Multi-volume, spiral binding, expensive.
