New Beren and Luthien book
I just saw this review for a new edition of the Beren and Luthien story. I haven't bought it, but I think I might. What do you think about buying a new printing? Christopher Tolkien says this might be the last one he releases.

A nicely rendered review for the ultimate romance in "The Silmarillion". Sad to think this will be the final J.R.R. Tolkien book edited by his son Christopher, who at 93 will no longer mete out Middle-earth material to the masses. An incredible run for Christopher, who began this sojourn with "The Silmarillion" in 1977 and ended 40 years later with where it started for his father nearly a century ago, "Beren and Lúthien". My, how time flies, particularly for immortals.

It is understandable but it is sad news nonetheless.
