Be amazed, dear Readers, at the splendid July fireworks in our new Green Books:
• Stinging satire from Turgon: “How to Express Your Tolkien Ignorance: A Guide for the Media.” Ouch!
• Anwyn explores Tolkien’s pro-Nature, anti-Industrial bent in her new Counterpoint.
• The Brothers Hildebrandt take our Special Guest on a 70’s nostalgia trip.
• In Tributes: see how Tolkien inspires great writers like Robin Hobb (Ship of Destiny, Assassin’s Quest), from the new Meditations on Middle-earth, edited by Karen Haber (St. Martin’s Press, Nov. 2001).
• Tookish’s Ticklers is filled with zany, brilliant, goofy humor!
• Check out 16 new Q&A, including these and MORE:
- Why isn’t Thorin more like Gimli?
- How did Galadriel return to Valinor?
- How could a Shadow-Sauron wear the Ring?
- Did Gandalf send the dreams?
- Spiritual consequences of suicide?
- Please clarify this immortality thing!

Much too hasty,
