Tolkien Gateway:Book edition
From Tolkien Gateway
The Tolkien Gateway: Book Edition project hopes to, within a few years, publish our own content in book form. It will be imperative that the published text contains as few errors as possible so versions of the articles will have to be "frozen" and thoroughly looked over before approving for publication. As the contents of Tolkien Gateway is rather large, a single book is not feasible and multiple volumes will have to be made. Splitting the content up by volume is most likely, however it is also possible that we could publish the content in categories, such as a book dedicated to Men, or Locations, etc. It is important that the book be sold at cost, as inexpensive as possible.
[edit] Volumes
- A volume for each letter of the alphabet, combining uncommon letters such as XYZ. Each volume will contain an alphabetical list of entries without images for copyright and cost of printing reasons. Due to the length of an index on such a project, we may exclude it from the back of each volume and publish a complete index for the set.
- Languages - a book dedicated to the languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth. It will contain an alphabetical list of entries for all known words, similar to The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth however everything will be cited and nothing assumed. The book will also contain an alphabetical list of English words with their Quenya/Sindarin/etc translation. It will also contain general information on all the languages and attempt to contain anything relevant to the languages Tolkien created.
- Collectibles - This book will contain any and all information on the collectibles relating to Tolkien's works with a focus on books which may require its own separate book.
- People - This book will contain any and all information on the characters Tolkien created as well as the real-life people related to him.
- Locations - This book will contain any and all information on the locations within Arda as well as real-life locations related to Tolkien.
