Selections from the Marquette J.R.R. Tolkien Collection

Notes
Includes a sentence that was removed from the typescript of Farmer Giles of Ham prior to typesetting. See p.15.

Also includes three essays: Mr Bliss: Notes on the Manuscript and Story by Jared C. Lobdell, The Boundaries of the Little Kingdom by Taum Santoski, and A Tale that Grew in the Telling by Verlyn Flieger.

Two states seen - presumably the booklet was reprinted:

A) Un-paginated except for pages iv and 1.

B) First two pages un-paginated. Subsequent pages numbered 1-25.

The card cover on State A is slightly more grey-green than that on State B (pictured opposite). Considering the slightly unfinished condition of the text, State A may be the earlier of the two.
