There is no Kindle ebook with ‘10% free’, so this appears to be the only way to read the Introduction.<\/p>\n

* Thoughts on Tolkien<\/a><\/em> considers books recently read, or newly arrived on the doorstep. He notes…<\/p>\n

“Tolkien\u2019s edition of The Old English Exodus is a very important text in Tolkien-studies that was often overlooked. Thankfully, now that it is available in the second Myths and Legends box set and more widely available, it will hopefully become a source for renewed and in-depth studies by Tolkien scholars and fans.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

* And finally, a fine new hand-drawn remake of the Lord of the Rings map<\/a>. Freely available online, as a 25Mb 300dpi .JPG file. The size is such that a wall-map should be able to be printed, which might make for an interesting school project – how to print a wall-map without a huge wall-sized printer.<\/p>\n
