There's an article here -
http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/l ... om-the-shire-8412635.html -with more, here - http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/l ... html?action=gallery&ino=8 - about someone who's had a house built in his garden for his Tolkien collection which, it is reported here and elsewhere, includes books and 'manuscripts'. The bookshelves in this picture don't seem remarkable (but then I wouldn't show any of my good stuff, either). I was wondering what reporters here and elswhere on the net mean by 'manuscripts'? I know what I mean when I say 'Tolkien manuscripts', but reporters seem to want to convey an idea of something mysterious.... I'd be interested to hear/see what else is in that collection (apart from those God-awful figures in the rafters). :)

What a beautiful little house.
I also hope he is here on the forum and will show us some more of his collection.
