Helen,

I do make frequent mention of Flieger's books (Question of Time, and Splintered Light) and also Shippey's Road to Middle Earth, and Author of the Century, but I've never reviewed them at the Downs.

I'm going to put in a plug for J.R.R. Tolkien, Artist and Illustrator, by Wayne G. Hammond and his wife Christina Scull, Houghton Mifflin Company. I am running out the door to carpool so can't do anything now, but will put up a review in the next few days.

Also, I have both the First and Second edition of the Annotated Hobbit, edited by Douglas Anderson, and will put up a compare/contrast description of that (unless someone beats me to it).

I'd like to put in another word for an occasional publication that is put out by Cristina Scull. This is called "The Tolkien Collector."

It only comes out infrequently --once every year or so. But it contains a detailed list of everything published over that period: books by Tolkien; books about Tolkien; even calendars, diaries, CDs, etc. The cost is just $11. It is completely descriptive and doesn't tell you how good or bad something is, but it does give you access to titles that I'm sure you've never heard of, even on Amazon!
