I'm right now working on an article for La Feuille de la Compagnie, #4 together with Michaël Devaux from France: the topics of the later will be "Tolkien and Old English". The article will be a first try to make a reconstruction of Tolkien's personal library; plus will try to shed a light on when and how the books were donated towards for example the English Language Faculty Library in Oxford and the many sales that have been seen by Sotheby's London, Loomebooks, Daerons, Rowns,...
I currently must be able to create a list of about 800 books. Yet a lot of writing to collectors, library's, etc. is still going on.
We gathered already many information, yet there is much more information needed to fill some holes of knowledge we still miss and to make sure the article tells a correct story. I prefer to tell no story if it cannot be certified to be correct.
Now for my questions towards you all, is there by any means you could provide me with information. Or do you have more info on Tolkien's personal library, the donations by Tolkien, by his family and the many sales.
Do you owe books from Tolkien's personal library or are able to bring me in contact with collectors who do owe such books or have more info and knowledge in this subject to share. Please email me at info(at)tolkienlibrary.com (change at into @)
