I have always wondered why the Tolkien Estate is so tight with everything. It really is ashame. I know they have been burnt in the past with copyright stuff and been taken advantage of. But now adays they would be pretty well protected. If J.R.R. Tolkien himself were still alive I doubt he would be so strict with everything. I would gladly pay for a lot of this stuff. Sometimes it feels like the Tolkien Estate is a bit too RIAAish about Tolkien's work and things related to it. I certainly do hope his Beowulf translation gets released sometime in the future. I am glade little things like Roverandom and Mr. Bliss make their way to the publisher every so many years. I hope there will be more minor works of his like this to appear briefly on our bookstore shelves in the future.
