Sting Where can i find tolkien's letters?

Where can I find a book (or what is the books name) that has Tolkien's letters. I keep hearing about them but I have never seen any.

If you don't want to buy it, most public libraries carry a copy or two of it. It's called The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien edited by Humphrey Carpenter and Christopher Tolkien. It's really great for background info on Middle earth and his Elven languages.

I found it in paperback at Borders, probably any big chain would have it (especially if they still have remaining books from the displays they put up when LOTR came out). They're a fascinating read, though I did feel slightly hurt to see JRRT dismissing some of my favorite writers out of hand...OTOH when you're that gifted yourself you probably can't help but see the literary world a little differently.
