Maybe my third child doesn't need a college education. . . .

Maybe we could take a collection and purchase it for the HoF community. It could be housed for safety at the Thain's House.

Sigh. When I win the lottery (perhaps I should buy a ticket...), I'll stock the Hall of Fire Library. But I hate to impose on the Thain to house it. I think instead I'll put branches in Oxford and New Zealand, and establish a fund to purchase air fare for Halofirians who wish to visit them for research or continuing enlightenment.

Just a (pleasant) thought.

Can we take up another collection:

Tolkien, "Lamb's Farm", pen and ink drawing

This? Is a brilliant idea

That nice Anduril. Is it the same as the Filmbook? Any chance you could scan a few pages for me?

Post by **Anduril** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 9:11 am

I don't what the Filmbook is - is it a "making-of" book or a junior storybook with film images? The Fotonovel™ (more like film images arranged like comics) is softbound and paperback-sized so the interior's not ideal for scanning. I could take photos of some pages but I don't have access to a digital camera right now. Perhaps in the future. It's not in mint condition of course, but still I was just lucky.

I had the filmbook, because the film was in fact my first experience of LOTR. It's probably in my parents attic soemwhere.

The filmbooks is pretty much as you described. A storybook with film images. Is yours more like a graphic novel, in comic strip form? Say, like the Hobbit Graphic Novel by David Wenzel?
