Helen - I do have a copy of this essay and it is amazing to me, whatever perspective you consider it from. It is one of my favorites written by JRRT from the later years, a time when he seemed to be experimenting with some new and fascinating approaches.

About 5 weeks ago, I posted a thread on mind-to-mind communication in LotR, not realizing about the existence of this essay or even of the earlier thread. Once I found out, I went ahead and ordered it. The essay covers a good 13 pages so there is plenty to read and think about.

To order the volume, just pull up this web site:
www.elvish.org

Go to Vinyar Tengwar and then roll down the page and press back issues. They will give you a descriptive list of back issues with contents. The main osanwe-kenta essay is in #39. Each one costs $2 plus the postage (forget what that is) There are other issues which contain original Tolkien writings that don't appear elsewhere as well.
