Everyone might like to know there are Tolkien magazines!

There is the Tolkien Society's Amon Hen, which is fab becuase it's just like an old-skool fanzine! Members of the TS send in letters and drawings and a bit of fan-fic or poetry. There are reviews and member profiles and so on.

There is also Mallorn, the Tolkien Society's annual journal which has a more academic bent but is still a little eccentric. And has a new editor so I'm wondering how it will turn out when they get around to publishing it again (wasn't one last year).

Then there is the annual Tolkien Studies which is often interesting, and often ruddy pretentious too, being a high level academic journal. It's also expensive, about £35 a copy!

Whereas TS membership is about £20, including your mags.
