Tolkien Story at fatbrain.com - Xoanon @ 09:26 PST
I would like to inform you of a brief book that I have written. It is called: Exploring Middle-Earth: Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings.

I wrote this 75 page book mainly for those who have not experienced Tolkien. With the anticipation building over the upcoming movies, I thought an introductory text covering Tolkien the author, his created world and characters, a discussion of his major themes, and some teaser text about the new films would be a good idea.

My work is available in digital only format and has been published by fatbrain.com. I would like to know if you would care to write a brief announcement about my book on your site and/ or provide the link directly to the webpage where it is available. The price of the book is $4.00, which allows one to download and then print as many copies as they want.

I think it is a great overview as well as an interesting presentation of Tolkien's themes in The Lord of the Rings. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me. Please respond to this email with any questions or to let me know if you decide to put something on your site.

I have attached a Word file with some excerpts for you to review if you desire. Thank you for your time and keep up the great work on your Tolkien site.
