Here's your chance to see Tolkien's original manuscripts!

Over the past sixty or so years, the original Tolkien manuscripts have been in the possession of the Marquette Libraries' Department of Special Collections. The department will conduct a total of ten showings of selected manuscripts over the next two years. Better still, they are open to both the campus community and the general public, no reservation required. Jump over to the Marquette University website to get more details »

No hobbits! 

An awesome book shadowed by the glory of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. A fan-made trailer for a movie not in production. An actor who would like to play a younger Gandalf. And great grief because Christopher Tolkien refuses to sell its rights to The Silmarillion!
