I received my copy of this today.

Hi Wellinghall,
You will have to do a review for us all on its contents.

Dior

My first reaction can be summed up in one word, Dior: "shallow".

Oh dear...at least I can scrub it off the list...thanks for the heads up
Dior

Could you do another review?

That link is from 2008 and doesn't work any more. Olwe's request for another review, is because the St. Austin Review is doing another Tolkien special issue releasing next month.

Here is the correct URL:
