Wow, wish I could be there for the CT book signing. Unfortunately, I live in the US. :(

This is CT son of Gabriel son of Hilary, not the "other" one you are probably thinking of.

Oh, I see. The book sounds interesting, nonetheless, though that makes the event a bit less appealing if it is Chris Tolkien rather than Christopher Tolkien. :)

I wish could attend as well. I wondered when more info would become available on Hilary.
I signed copy by Chris would be fantastic. I anyone attending can pick up a spare copy I would love to buy one.

Here are a few images from the book.
The cover, an ogre and an dog - the dog illustrates one of those moments in the book when something Hilary has written clicks in with something already published. I won't spoil it for you, I'll let you wrack your brain for Tolkien-related dogs!

A review of the book should be in the next Amon Hen.
It should be available on Amazon, but orders can be placed with ADC Books.

We've just got back from the book launch - picked up four copies (all dedicated by Angie), and ordered our deluxe copy (numbers are being allocated quickly!)

Well, I unfortunately can't make it to Moreton this year. So I will contact Andy and you, Angie, in order to obtain a signed copy.

The Daily Mail has reviewed the book - and has been very complimentary about it too.

For those of you interested in the Limited Deluxe Edition of the book, it will be published next month. Most copies have already been pre-ordered, so if you want a copy contact ADC Books soon.

The book is now at the printers. There will be a few corrections to the text, a new illustration from Jef Murray and some 'suitable words' from the editor, the illustrator and Chris Tolkien. The book will be cloth bound and will come in a slipcase. Should be hand numbered too I think.
