Hi Catherine,

Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions today.

I am still engrossed in Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth and Tolkien Treasures, both have become instant must haves in my Tolkien research, my heartfelt thanks for the work by all of you at the Bodleian.

I would like to know how many documents were in a publishable form but not used for the exhibition books? Could we see more archival papers released in the future? We would all dearly love to see more from Tolkien's archives published in the form of letters, notes and his remaining unpublished fragments. HarperCollins, yourselves and the Tolkien Estate have an opportunity to publish more works that we are all waiting for.

Many thanks for your reply. I found the annotated map thoroughly engaging and hope we see more. Thanks again for taking time out to answer our questions and for the exhibition and the books. Maker especially is splendid.
