Are there any EU or UK websites where "Tolkien's Faith" can be preordered from? Neither Amazon.co.uk or Blackwells.co.uk or any EU site I usually order from have it listed at the moment.
Just as an FYI to Catholic UK folks (or any who might be especially interested in Ordway's book Tolkien's Faith), the Birmingham Oratory will be hosting a "Tolkien Weekend" in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Tolkien's death (September 2nd) and the release of Ordway's book. On September 1st, Ordway will give a talk, "Home in the Highest: Tolkien's Faith and the Birmingham Oratory" and will have copies of her book available for purchase. Presumably this would be a good event to get her to sign books as well. On September 2nd, the Oratory will have a Latin Requiem Mass for Tolkien, followed by a talk by Oratorian priest Fr. Richard Duncan entitled "A Fundamentally Religious and Catholic Work: J.R.R. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings."

Beowulf: Translation and Commentary
Translation by Tom Shippey, edited by Leonard Neidorf
Translation by Tom Shippey, edited by Leonard Neidorf
Beowulf, composed around 700 A.D., is the first great epic poem in the English language. It tells the timeless story of a hero’s fight against monsters and sets it against a complex background of political intrigue and tribal warfare. Situated in sixth-century Scandinavia, the poem brings to life a magnificent world that fuses history with fantasy.
Tom Shippey’s new translation of Beowulf, reflecting a lifetime of engagement with the poem,makes its story clearer and more compelling than it has ever been. The original Old English text of Beowulf is included along with an extensive and innovative commentary, which guides the reader passage-by-passage through the poem and its criticism.
In addition to the text, translation, and commentary, this volume contains an extensive bibliography, a translator’s preface, and an appended essay by Tom Shippey on “Tolkien and Beowulf—A Lifelong Involvement.”
Now I see the code, I will make a note so I know for future.
