I'm only familiar with the one about the seagull, but a little googling brought up the following bibliography: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Richard_Bach.htm - no immediate Olivers, though

Oh, and I tried looking for an "Oliver Dove", but haven't come across anything useful yet.

Check this out. Doesn't that font look familiar? And that symbol flashed up, superimposed over the moon, in the old Triska splash page.

So are we to assume that Islington has "hired" the Bill Godden Foundation via Toby Godden? Because he agrees with their principles and thinks they're taking a step in the right direction?

Or is this entire thing a big advertisement for the Foundation?

Ugh. I'm going to class.

Jackalope, would you mind if these pictures were posted on the Trskabiblios forum as well?

I thought maybe some of us could speculate there as well, then we could combine our thoughts without this post getting too long. Smile

Thanks.

Okay, I poked around the Bill Godden Foundation site some more. I found 4 email addresses. One of the addresses is a mailto and will launch your email client: emailSPLATbillgoddenfoundation.org. The other three do not.

I sent this email to all of them:

Hello.

I seek the 13 books.

I seek Book Zero.

Can you help? It would be most appreciated.

Three of them bounced immediately, including emailSPLATbillgoddenfoundation.org. The email to Reinhold has not bounced yet. I'll definitely post here when/if I get a reply.

just to add to the conversation:

Dyfnant is welsh for ‘deep valley’, nant = stream or valley (metathesised as Dunvant). So dyfnant mill might be a watermill somewhere..

on the other hand, the address listed on that foundation site really looks like the one in the hidden message:

Dyfnant Mill Cottages, Dyfnant Mill
80/82 Heol Tawe, Tawe Road
Abercrave, Cravemouth
Swansea, Sea of swans
SA91XR,
Wales, Cymru
UK.

anybody in wales around that can check something out over there?

I believe the information under the address label is the address of Dyfnant Mill, in Wales, a cottage that has equity that funds the Godden Foundation.

EDIT: Ah, Dragkhar, you beat me to the punch Smile

So I wonder if I'm supposed to forward the Book/Package to Toby then?

Either that or its the return address.

Thanks, Rogi. When I started out on this road I thought it was about one thing. Now I'm starting to think it's about something else entirely. My initial reaction fades and is replaced by something other. Time to take a small step back to appreciate the forest instead of analysing the bark on each of the trees. If you want to do the same, consider the following question: "What is this?" No, I mean, "What is this really?" And: what are you doing about it?

Aren't we always beginning again?
