A Concise Listing of Tolkien Books
Internet Tolkien Book featuring lists of books published by Ballantine and HarperCollins in 1995, book resources on the Internet, and members on every inhabited continent! Tolkien card game from Iron Crown Enterprises was released in December, 1995. The game is called 'Middle-earth: The Wizards' and contains nearly five hundred cards featuring new art! To me, this is the best new Tolkien item in years...
