Maybe my third child doesn't need a college education. . . .
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Maybe we could take a collection and purchase it for the HoF community. It could be housed for safety at the Thain's House.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

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.

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.
