Quite a regular

New Mongolian

I was recently pointed to a brand new translation into Mongolian by a Mongolian visitor to my website, Adiyasuren Jamiyandagva, who saw that I was only lacking a translation into that language. Unlike the previous Mongolian translation, which was a translation from Russian into Mongolian, this one is directly from English. Fellowship was published in March, Two Towers will be published later in 2024, and Return published in early 2025. I ordered my copy from internom.mn. The exchange rate is quite good so it's not very expensive even with shipping. They shipped to the US without any problems. (I assume it's just as easy to ship to Europe.) And even better, once I received my copy this morning, I reached the first major milestone in my collection: At least one translation from every language that LOTR has been translated into so far. I'll go buy a celebration cake later this evening :)

It's very well (hard)bound and printed on good quality paper with a ribbon. The scanned images are from the front and back of the dust jacket (which is also heavy-duty glossy paper).
