Just a reminder that you can now buy the October 2014 Journal of Inklings Studies.

Thanks, Trotter! I've been checking their website regularly, but had failed to see that it's now available -- didn't want to miss out on this one!

Thanks! Just ordered it.

Believe that this is probably the last of the pocket books, though I suppose Leaf by Niggle, Mr Bliss, Father Christmas Letters are also candidates as well for this book format.

Remind me, what pocket editions have we had so far?

Just got the pocket The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and at the back of the book Mr Bliss is listed as being in the same series i.e. pocket editions. The current Mr Bliss is not a pocket edition, so unless it is a mistake we should see a pocket Mr Bliss as well.

I get the feeling that it is a mistake based on the description which matches the current Mr Bliss:

"Published here for the first time with Tolkien's own colorful illustrations integrated into his comical story, this book also includes the original handwritten version of the story printed in facsimile at the back, giving readers of all ages two ways of enjoying this remarkable book."

Though if this is the case, then why not include Mr Bliss's companion Letters from Father Christmas in the series? Who knows? Personally, I'd be surprised if they did a pocket Mr Bliss.

I see the latest Hobbit movie tie-in paperback has been published. I've just ordered what appears to be a B-format version. I know there has also previously been an A-format equivalent, described as an 'International edition'. Anyone found one this year?

Also, for the past two years there has been a non-movie paperback with an illustrated cover, with the caption 'International children's bestseller'. Has anyone spotted an equivalent this year?

Really looking forward to this from Wayne G. Hammond & Christina Scull.




"Only now can we say that our latest Tolkien project – which has occupied much of our time this summer and early autumn – is The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. With the 60th anniversary of the first (U.K.) publication of The Return of the King coming next year, HarperCollins asked us for a Lord of the Rings companion to our successful Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. We quickly agreed, then took time to think about what the new book should contain and how we should approach the subject."
