From Bee's editorial, "As all, or most of, the zines devoted to Tolkien have become scarce or non-existent - or at least infrequent - HOOM has been started in an attempt to gather together the fen of Tolkiendom." Frankly speaking mentions that I Palantir was circulated to only a select group, and that Entmoot emphasized the languages of Middle-earth. The Glittering Caves is a nice 1 page line illustration. Beryl is an article about Emeralds in geology and literature (even the Bible) and how that relates to Aragorn's Elf-stone. The letters section (Swordpoint) touches on a bibliography of works relating to intelligent trees, and forthcoming art and Tengwar from John Closson. My favorite is a book review (reprinted from Library Journal, May 1 1968) on William Ready's The Tolkien Relation: "Criticisms, studies, and examinations are harbingers of the passing of a literary fad and diminishing popularity of an author's work." River-Daughter is a nice analysis of the available information on Goldberry. The Mailing comments are to fulfill N'APA requirements, and are personal notes to other amateur publishers - none Tolkien related.
