New Tolkien book coming in September
Some of you might have seen this announced in other Tolkien fora and sites but it is worth posting about it here. Yes, a complete edition of Tolkien's poetry, including several poems not previously published, edited by the illustrious crew, Christian Scull and Wayne Hammond. Three volumes worth! Just when you thought there could not possibly be more posthumous Tolkien books.

Apparently a massive tome, at 1500 pages coming in bigger than the entire Lord of the Rings

Six months??!!
What am I supposed to do with myself until then? Seriously though, I'm glad they didn't announce it years ago (since, obviously, the undertaking was massive enough to start in c. 2016/7 or so I think) - I would've developed a restless-leg syndrome by now...

Three volumes and a box... that's a lot of poems. I'm not sure I have space... or rather, I'm not sure what has to be moved off the Tolkien Bookshelf to *make* space. hS

I'm not sure what has to be moved off my wallet to make space for it.
