Helen,

All that sounds great! The last bullet is a fine idea. Also Underhill's recommendation that we bail out to a separate thread if any of the discussions become too detailed.

Zb,

What a great review! I'm impressed. And I agree with your assessment of the book.

I know of no other book that gives this wealth of detail and example reflecting JRRT's artistry: sketches, paintings, doodlings on envelopes and especially on newspapers, the latter of which are quite striking.

Another good thing is that you can still find stray copies of this book in places like Borders as well as on the internet, although the list price for a paperback copy is not cheap--$25.
