Three Ways to Get Smart about Tolkien.
- Tehanu @ 23:48 PST The vast stores of knowledge on their website are still around and still free here We heard from Ian Brodie, author of the 'Lord of the Rings Locations Guide' which gives you all the details you need to know about the major LOTR film locations in New Zealand - including how to find them. The book's proved a runaway success and they are bringing out updated versions in the light of what we know from seeing TTT; next year there will be a coffee-table sized version. Here's the facts from Ian: -Now 70,000 plus copies sold. Last but not least is TORN's own book which we announced last week. Due to hit the bookshops in April - worldwide, we hope - the book is already available for pre-order from Amazon here So if you've ever enjoyed our writing on Green Books and Tehanu's Notes, our 'People's Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien offers the best of those articles plus new ones. _____________________________________

TORN's Own Book: The People's Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien
- Tehanu @ 20:31 PST The People's Guide is written by five contributing writers of TheOneRing.net -- the leading fan website devoted to Tolkien, his books, his lore, the New Line Cinema movies, and the fan community that centers on Middle-earth. TheOneRing.net has always been distinguished by the quality of the original articles appearing on its Green Books and Tehanu's Notes pages. This book adapts some of the most popular articles on the TheOneRing.net as well as offering readers completely new articles that are not available online. Readers will find essays ranging from a spirited defense of fantasy as a genre, discussions of Tolkien's views of good and evil, an examination of the cultural norms we bring to the understanding of the themes and characters in Middle-earth and much more. There are insightful reviews and critiques of the two Peter Jackson films released to date, and a Q&A section answering both classic and obscure questions from fans the world over. The foreword is written by Tom Shippey, the world's foremost Tolkien scholar, and author of "The Road to Middle-earth" and "J. R. R. Tolkien: Author of the Century," who says: "The Internet, the experience of continually answering questions and receiving comments ... give the organizers of TheOneRing.net a perspective which is uniquely broad, and uniquely full of surprises, some of which would have pleased Tolkien very much, but which he could not have expected." You can also pre-order at amazon.ca for all our Canadian readers. [More] And be sure to check it out at Amazon.uk for our UK contingent. [More] Amazon.de has the book listed for fans in Germany. [More] For further information or to interview the authors, contact either Erica Challis at tehanu@theonering.net or Jonathan Stein, Publisher, at jopenroad@aol.com or 631/692-7172
Cold Spring Press is pleased to announce its new book "The People's Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien." This book of essays fills the void between the release of the second and third Lord of the Rings movies. Passionate, ardent, well-informed, and unlike any other book on the subject, this is an indispensable handbook for people who consider themselves experts -- or who wish to become experts -- on the lore of Middle-earth and the man who made the myths.
The People's Guide is due to hit the shops in early April. Meanwhile it's available for pre-order on Amazon. [More]

The pictures of both the female figures are all over the net now. And there also might be a queen arwen figure. Toybiz didnt reveal all of their plans for the ROTK line to prevent spoilers.
Chino writes: This is regarding the article "Why No Eowyn Action Figure" from Snix. Well, I would like to tell her that she can now relax becuase toybiz is producing figures of both Galadriel and Eowyn! Galadriel is even already out in some parts of the world. And There's gonna be two versions of the eowyn action figure for the ROTK line. Maybe an Eowyn and a Dernhelm.
