Hi mr man, I mean manmr, :)
Welcome to Tom's MBT discussion forums. Tom does have impeccable timing, doesn't he? May I suggest the bottom third section of the Board Index for information to go through while you await your book(s), there is A LOT of data at your fingertips here, and at the MBT Events site at
http://www.mbtevents.com.
Oh, how I found MBT was a normal everyday Google search for "Theory of Everything" somewhere around 2003 when I bought the books. I didn't read them until after I saw The London Lecture on YouTube in August 2008 though (The MBT site emailed me about the lecture being online since I was on their mailing list from having bought the books there).
Welcome again.
Love to your and yours,
Bette
