50th Anniversary Houghton Mifflin/TORN Contest!
Xoanon @ 7:45 pm EST
The folks from Houghton Mifflin write: To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original U.S. publication of The Fellowship of the Ring on October 21, bookstores around the country will be hosting special LOTR events, including trivia games, costume contests, and other activities. See the complete list of participating stores below. TORN readers who attend one of the events and post an event report on the site will be eligible to win one of five copies of Houghton Mifflin's spectacular new anniversary edition of The Lord of the Rings! (Winners will be selected randomly.) This special edition, the finest we've ever produced, features a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author's exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, and a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul.
