New Tolkien Books:updates - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The other day I found a new book, The Roots of Middle Earth, written by a Tolkien Society member (and endorsed by them). It's not an earth-shattering read but is very interesting, particularly if anyone is fancying a trip to Brum to find Tolkien's old stamping grounds, and it is filled with lovely old pictures which the author has sourced from postcard fairs, including pics of Sarehole Mill and the Cole valley as it used to look.

This one will likely be of great interest to local history buffs in Birmingham too.
