Due to limited quantities, the first edition hardcover catalog is now only available in person at the Haggerty Museum of Art. A second edition soft-cover version, including a forward by Simon Tolkien, is being published and will appear online when available. Announcements will also be made in our monthly newsletter and on our Facebook page.

As it happens, they sold out of the hardcover of the Art of the Manuscript this morning. Ugh. So if anyone is willing to part with a copy, I'd love to talk!
