TolkienGuide 2024 Year-End Livestream

The date says 21 Nov, did you guys mean Dec?

Typo fixed, thanks!

It's odd to me that there's evidently not enough demand for a deluxe edition of Letters but titles like The Story of Kullervo and The Battle of Maldon get deluxe editions.

I'd expect a lot of overlap between the audiences interested in buying those books.

It doesn't have to be a commercial decision, either. Perhaps it feels inappropriate to someone in the decision process to have a deluxe or collector's edition of his personal letters, vs. his writings that he meant to be shared publicly (fiction and academic works).

I am sure that is something that HC are thinking of doing at some point, but the last I was told was that they had no 'current plans'.

Who is the illustrator linked to the possible Lost Tales book ?

There’s been a few names mentioned but no one we can divulge at this time. We’re very much in “wait and see” stage on this project.
