Book signing at Oxonmoot. They bought 125 copies of the book, but were sold out quite quickly.

Includes a chapter on Collecting Tolkien and contributions to that chapter from Urulókë, Mr. Underhill and myself.

There will also be an audio book narrated by Alan Sisto.

Left to right behind table: Alan Sisto, Shawn E. Marchese and Katie McKenna

Alan and Shawn started the Prancing Pony Podcast many years ago to share their love of Middle-earth, and now have a book coming out as well. Tolkien fans just starting out, and fans who have been reading since the 1930s will find something to enjoy. Listen to Shawn and Alan give a brief introduction to their book, available from most major booksellers in the coming weeks.

Would be hilarious if Alan has been working on a Shawn impression voice to reveal during the audiobook when reading the sections Shawn wrote
