TCG Letter #2424


From
J.R.R. Tolkien
To
Tom
Date
10 August 1965
Type
Autograph Letter Signed
Transcript
Complete
Tolkien writes to Tom, a reader who had sent him a letter of appreciation. He has no time for a longer reply as regretfully he is too busy dealing with business matters, especially those related to his continued issues with ACE Books who had issued an unauthorised version of The Lord of the Rings. Which, as Tolkien notes, he was receiving no royalties for.
Notes
Royalties were resolved in 1966, when an agreement was made between Donald A. Wollheim's ACE Books and Tolkien.
