Greetings, Quickbeam here. This is a very special time for us at GREEN BOOKS. Four years ago we started an “online magazine” format that quickly became the most talked about, most avidly read Tolkien study group on the Net! The celebration continues every day this week with new features, humor, Q&A, and more…. building up to our big anniversary on Friday.
Be here on August 22nd for our huge CRYPTIC CROSSWORD CONTEST! This devilishly difficult crossword was secretly designed by one of the great Tolkien scholars; and we have wonderful prizes for the winners. More details to come! Join us as we explore the WORDS and WORLDS of Tolkien.
Thanks for everyone’s patience on this! If you are thinking about coming to Dragon*Con in Atlanta August 29 – September 1, 2003, please check out the official Dragon*Con Tolkien’s Middle-earth Fan Track [Schedule]!
I’ll be posting more information on the individual sessions starting tomorrow. : )
Each week I scour Ebay looking for the hot Tolkien items up for sale. I post the most interesting here for you to bid on! [More]
Another great chance to catch your favorite LOTR stars on the small screen this week! Take a look! [More]
