letters

I just had this brainstorm that TTF should have a monthly or biweekly newsletter. In this newsletter, there would be latest news in the world of Tolkien and major TTF anouncments. By creating this we could narrow down what news and announcments posted on the boards, thus saving space on the...

Humphrey Carpenter , "Introduction" What letters do you think should be remembered well for their content and why?

Is this a good book? And, is that the title of it, The Letters of JRR Tolkien? I notice alot of times this book is used to quote things, and back things up, and it sounds interesting. Expanding more knowlege of M.E. is great! :)
