Greetings all, Quickbeam here…
Yes, I admit we’ve been away for about a month from our beloved Green Books, but fear not! We are back with a vengeance! 🙂
For all you curious souls out there who have submitted to our Q&A, now is your golden hour… we have no less than TWENTY new articles based upon your queries… Covering such esoteric subjects as:
– Could Sauron have controlled the mighty Balrog?
– Were there any sightings of the Entwives?
– Was there a system of prayer or worship in Middle-earth?
– What did Gandalf want to talk to Bombadil about?
and
– How did King Elessar re-establish the Kingdom of Arnor?
But wait, there’s more! Dozens of new poems and delightful fiction can be found in our updated Moon Letters section. Best of all is a terrific photo essay by one Shaun Spain, as he travels through scenic rural England where Tolkien himself once romped as a child. Great picturesand a great tour through the Professor’s youth await you “On the Tolkien Trail.”
See some cool new updates Turgon has on his erudite Bookshelf, and keep your eyes open for a new “Out on a Limb” column from me later this week. Again, we at Green Books take you with us as we continue to explore the Words and Worlds of Tolkien.
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam

It seems that PJ et all are doing something rather cool to gather some money together to help flood victims in NZ.
From: Rosie
A friend working on LOTR said that the film production company had been passing around a hard copy of Lord of the Rings ( the large format version with Alan Lee’s artwork) to be signed by all the cast and Peter Jackson and other key people. It turns out that the production have given the signed book to be auctioned off in aid of the victims of the recent flood in Queenstown. A local radio station who are to host the auction have been advertising it. It is to be held at 11:00am this Sunday – the 12 December at the Memorial Hall in Queenstown itself. If anyone is interetsed I guess they could contact the radio station in Queenstown called Resort Radio 99FM.
