I guess many of you will already have picked this up from other sources, but I thought I should mention here that a book about Father Francis Xavier Morgan and J.R.R. Tolkien has just been published in Spain:

La Conexion Española de J.R.R. Tolkien by José Manuel Ferrández Bru.


http://www.josemanuelferrandez.com/ENconexion.html

A new edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's Roverandom (edited by Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond) will be published at the end of June 2013.

Lovely cover!

Anyone idea what these two are? Both are marked on Amazon as "Temporarily out of stock" (rather than "pre-order"), even though the publisher information is stated as "Harper Collins Promotion (7 Nov 2013)" (--which would suggest there haven't been published yet.)

Hobbit the Desolation of Hb [Hardcover]

Lord of Rings Ill Slipcase Hb [Hardcover]

The title wording looks like Amazon have literally just freehanded it, for bookmarking purposes, as this can't be what they're actually called/titled.

BH

A paperback edition of "J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia: Scholarship and Critical Assessment" edited by Michael Drout.

It is £28 in the UK and the publication date is 22nd May 2013.

Much cheaper than the hardback (over £100).

Have a look at Michael's blog for information about the book (http://wormtalk.blogspot.co.uk/2006/11/j.html)

And £21 at the book depository

Anyone spotted that there seems to be a new paperback Silmarillion due out in August?

The Bodleian Library will be releasing a book to accompany the exhibition 'Magical Books: from the Middle Ages to Middle-Earth':

Thanks Morgan and Turambar for the heads' up.

As far as I can tell that Silmarillion is just new cover art. Yes?

The Bodleian book sounds nice - won't know until is comes out if it has anything we haven't seen elsewhere. Is someone planning to get it and can give a review?

I have ordered a copied and should get it on release, I will let people know what is in it, from a Tolkien point of view, but I am also interested in the other material

I'll also get the Silmarillion but I think you are right that it is just a new cover.
