I agree with everything Stu has said - I am definitely looking forward to it, and feel strongly that everyone will find something of interest in it!

Dear Stu, I'm sorry it will take that long to reach you! But once it's officially published, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about it.

Thanks - I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

I sure hope people have been given sufficient information to know what the book is, and what it is not. And of course that those who purchase/read it find at least something in it to enjoy and justify it!

I admit to high expectations Aelfwine, the table of contents look very promising indeed.

The Nature of Middle-earth - an interview with Carl F. Hostetter

The Nature of Middle-earth brings together for the first time some of J.R.R. Tolkien’s final writings on Middle-earth, many never published before. This collection is being released in the UK and the USA on September 2nd, the same day that Oxonmoot 2021 is opening. Join Jeremy Edmunds (@uruloke) and Carl F. Hostetter (@aelfwine) as they discuss the book and how Carl came to be its editor.

Move to new thread

I can't wait anymore, so excited for this!!!

Aelfwine - I have said on here previously that this is the one book I have been anticipating the most ever since it was announced. The last book I was truly excited about was The Fall of Gondolin.

Congrats on it being out in the wild, I mean world, now. ?

Aelfwine, the book looks great. Very excited to read it.

Thanks, all!

I can only add my voice to the chorus of expectant readers in saying that I am truly looking forward to this one, Aelfwine!

Having said that, I do hope to be able to buy it - in style - at Blackwell's in Oxford. Expect pictures when you see them
