Tolkien letter sold for nearly $7000
Stuff report that a letter written 46 years ago by JRR Tolkien to Miss Grant in New Zealand has been sold at auction in Wellington for nearly $7000. In his letter Tolkien wrote that, “he thought The Lord of the Rings was too expensive a book to attract a host of buyers”.

Ah, the irony!
Wow, how strange. I hope that no one I’ve sent a letter to will ever sell it, it’s a personal thing! Hope Tolkien would be alright with this….
Valar! That’s rather…ironic.
