fav left out parts in book.

this is for history of middle earth readers 😛

what part do you wish tolkien had kept
from his early versions of lotr-the the final
what did he change that you wish he hadnt.

mine would have to be frodo driving the 'wizard' king into the flames of mt doom

I wish he had kept the idea that Glorfindel could have told the Fellowship of his past in Gondolin 😄 wonderful idea... sad that he dropped it 🙁

that would confirm that the Glorfindel in the Sil was the same in LotR

That's why I'd love to have the part in the final version, too 😄

i got to read the HoME. there's alot of info that I want to learn

The whole Palantir chapter. Discussion between Theoden and Sauraman. That was awesome! I thought Theoden would fall to Sauraman's trick again.

I need to read those...on my list after lost tales and silmarillion

that is one book I aint read, I am going to read the trilogy again and maybe sway towards the hobbit.....so expect me toreply tothis thread in say just unber amonth

There are four history books on the WotR, 4 for the WotJ and 4 books of tales, ppl and places.

history of middle earh i will need to purchase soon enough, dont have it just now, if I buy it and leave it in the arda shelf 🙄 then it will modivate me to read it in due time

It'll cost a bit for each book. Expect to pay 240 bucks for the whole set, maybe more with tax and s&h

jeepers,

what about the 4 books?

whoa, each book goes for roughly £30, thats quite expensive

$80, maybe assuming it's $20 a book. It might be less if u buy in bulk

ah, well in that case it wont be till after summer till i buy part 1 for starters

30? Whoa, that's really expensive. Which edition is that?

Here the HarperCollins paperback edition (imo the most beautiful) is €20 each... that'd be about £15, but it's supposed to cost £10.

There's also the much cheaper one by DelRey, but it's ugly I think... but it costs only about £7 (and you can get it even cheaper sometimes)

The only other edition I know is the one that has the 12 volumes in only 3 books - 5 in the first, 4 in the second and 3 in the third I think, but it's really expensive

I only have one book by DelRey, the others by Harpercollins... except for #8 (will have to buy it, still don't have it >_<😉

^^

at Amazon - History of Middle Earth Part 2 £32 odd

Strange;
Which edition is that? (Amazon doesn't work on my PC)
Probably the one whose cover is just in one colour, without any cover illustration by Howe? If yes... that's a collection of 4 HoME-volumes 🙂

I have no idea, I will look later I dont have the motivation to have a look 🙄

🙄

Lol

I just remembered that I still havent completely read most of the HoMEs 😮 only single stories out of them... and nearly none that had anything to do with LoTR 😮 😮
