# Talk:Red Book of Westmarch

In my copy, the lines starting 'My Diary...' and 'Adventures of..' are not centred, but are indented as normal paragraphs. (Whether Tolkien intended the indent or not, that's what got printed.) Hammond & Scull do not mention any alternative layouts in A Reader's Companion, and they are usually quick to pick up typographical oddities. Are there alternative layouts in different editions? -- Verbarson  talkedits 11:41, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

They certainly aren't all the same, but you are right that we needn't centre the first lines. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:47, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
