Have the Mods removed a recent Tolkien book thread?

Posted by: Deane F on 18 April 2007

I can't find the thread that was posted recently about a new book that the late JRR Tolkien's son has released. If it has been removed I am mystified as to possible reasons.

Can anybody enlighten - or find the thread?

I lost my vast Tolkien collection a couple of years back

I detect a very sad story!

I had a whole house full of stuff in storage (as previously reported on this ere forum)and due to a breakdown in communication and a lack of funds the whole lot was sold/destroyed - everything I owned in fact - furniture, hifi, music, books, personal stuff such as letters and photos you name it - a whole life's worth and all gone and I never got a penny of compensation. Sad story? Less than you might think but yes, a little sad. Everything is the nature of impermanence - a little ending and a new beginning. Such is life. As for the owner of the storage company, well I don't know how he sleeps at night but that is his problem not mine. Much of the Tolkien literary criticism I had collected is out of print now which is a pity but then again I probably wouldn't read it again so what?

I'm glad you have the book now Mark (and at a bargain price)- enjoy!
