Thank you! Fascinating to see you found all those books (well, most of them) with their dust jackets

And what have the following books to do with Tolkien?

- An Anglo-American Literary Review (What volume is it?)
- The Digressions of Beowulf
- The Isle of Gramarye
- The Saga of Hrolf Kraki (I only found out that Mills was a student of Tolkien's)

The AALR is volume 17 (2000). It includes an article on "Tolkien and Esperanto", by Arden R Smith and Patrick Wynne.

The Digressions in Beowulf is number 5 in the series of Medium Aevum Monographs. The acknowledgements finish with this paragraph:
"Finally, I express my gratitude to the many Beowulfian scholars cited in the notes, and particularly to three of the greatest, Prof Fr Klaeber, Prof JRR Tolkien, and the late Prof RW Chambers."

The Isle of Gramarye includes not only Tolkien's poems "Errantry" and "Shadow-Bride", but also a new Pauline Baynes illustration for the former.

"The Saga of Hrolf Kraki" is dedicated "To EVG, JRRT and CTO".
