- The relevant information I believe can be found in the booklist
- compiled by William D.B. Loos. Although no addresses are given,
- any bookstore should be able to order the books for you using the
- ISBN number. Following is a portion of that list. If you want the
- complete list of Tolkien books as well as related ME works, just ask
- and I'll repost it.
