And in real life who wouldn't make an archaeological dig to Tol Morwen dig up the 'shards of Anglachel' assuming they could find it on a map?

Wait, if they don't have a later map, would they be searching for the River Teiglin of old? See, you need a map billhinge

I do agree they need a map, when I was younger and first read the books I'm sure like many I tried to cross ref first and third age maps but couldn't and afaik Tol Morwen isn't on any official Tolkien created map is my point? Hence I alway wonder why it wasn't added?

That I certainly don't know. It was positioned by Fonstad iirc?

I loved looking at the maps, like most children of previous times. I wonder if kids now still enjoy those things. They don't appear to do any of the things we did as children.

My favorite line is "He wrote an original book called Fellowship of the King"

Amazon finally deleted the listing, I would imagine being sued by the author does not help if you want to sell books on the platform.

lol probably not. Although, I was honestly surprised that Amazon listed it at all. I noticed it about a month ago, but I have no idea how long it was up before that. I wonder how much permission it will give the tolkien estate to move against amazon for falling asleep at the wheel and distributing said copyright material. If this guy actually sold any of those books on amazon, they would make money off of it as well. Might be a pretty ugly tangle for them.
