Tolkien Christmas Gifts - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 12-14-2004, 07:39 PM

Ya, most the people I know, enjoy LOTR, and might have even read the books, but they aren't like what you would call a "barrowdowner." Not that obsessed with it. But, I finally met someone who enjoys Tolkien as much as I do, and might have even been reading him longer then me.

I have the film based Trivial Pursuit but so far nobody has dared to play it with me.

Yes, same here. Though the excuse I get is, 'It takes too long to play and we don't have time.' No time, my foot. Just because I crushed them in the first game they don't want to finish the second one.... though, I must admit, I didn't exactly preserve everything perfectly... perhaps we should just start a new game.

Know what they should make and I would gladly drool over and say it was the only thing I wanted for Christmas?

The Red Book of Westmarch.

Surprised they haven't seen the marketability of such an item.

The Red Book of Westmarch - good marketing idea. It would include the Hobbit, LoTR and some UT items, I suppose

As for my Christmas Present, I forgot to mention it in my previous, I've ordered one of the last BD T-Shirts

. Hope it gets here by Christmas. Promise to publish a photo too

cheers

Actually Heren I was in Barnes and Noble looking for a copy of the Sil (I haven't read it yet

), and there was The Hobbit, FOTR, TTT, and ROTK, hardback covers in a big red casing (and the covers were red). I don't think it was called "The Red Book of Westmarch," but it's an interesting thought?

I have the collector's edition of the Lord of the Rings, a three-in-one book with a red leather cover. But I think when it comes to the actual Red Book of Westmarch it would, as Heren said, have to include more than LotR. Hmm... this is what I got when I Googled "Red Book of Westmarch".

Heh, googled is a good new verb. Thanks for the links too
