- With a bit of luck, I should be able to post the preliminary version of the FAQ
- at the beginning of February (work committments prevent me doing it before then,
- unfortunately).
-
- I *think* I've covered a lot of what could be construed as Frequently Asked
- Questions. Basically, the questions answered are :
-
- - How do I join the Tolkien Society?
- - What journals/newsletters/whatever deal with the discussion of Tolkien's
- work?
- - Where can I get Elvish fonts for <whatever>?
-
- Also, I'm trying to piece together a coherent answer for the Bombadil question
- (with the aid of all the articles posted to a.f.t except the first 150 or so
- :-) ). Other answers deal with the Istari, the nature of orcs and trolls,
- Glorfindel (both of 'em :-) ) as well as the booklist.
-
- Has anyone got any more suggestions? If so, I'd be grateful if you'd send me
- them (complete with a shortish `answer' since I don't have much time to go
- hunting through the entire works of Tolkien at the moment :-) )
-
- Apologies for taking so long over this, reality has a tendency to get in the
- way at times (plus, even I'm entitled to a Christmas break :-) )
-
- Thanks,
-
- Simon.
