"The artifacts of Middle-earth are the products of the mind; words and names, rather than skeletons and pottery shards. The purpose of this study is to offer the reader a glimpse into the things that make up the words that are a part of Tolkien’s Legendarium. Llyfawr is proud to announce that The Raynor Memorial Library at Marquette University and the Thuringian University and State Library at Jena, Germany have added a copy of A Tolkienian Mathomium to their collections."
