History of Lord of the Rings

[Child of the 7th Age]

I made the mistake of buying The End of the Third Age, and then had to go back and buy Sauron Defeated so I would have the complete information. Don't waste your money.

I have managed to scrape together all the volumes in the series except Morgoth's Ring which I still need to buy. (It's available--I'm just trying not to bankrupt myself!) Do you have paper or hard copy of the series? I like hardback because I am tough on books, but some of the volumes were so expensive that I was happy to get the paperback. Are they ever going to reprint all the volumes in hard copy? Does anyone know?

I amazingly ran into a hardbound first edition of The Lost Road in a second hand bookstore for $10 so you better believe I snapped that up. Lost Tales II and the Lays of Beleriand in hard copy are not to be found anywhere for a reasonable price. At least I haven't found them. If anyone knows where they can be bought, please let me know.

Oh, I would read Silm before Unfinished Tales. sharon, the 7th age hobbit
