A Guide to Finding Out-of-Print Books on the Net - Newsgroups
When browsing the web there are many Tolkien communities and lots of
small Tolkien collector sites. Most of them are having a newsletter to
which you can inscribe to. Rarely it happens that any newsletter is send
at all, or the information you get provided stays uninteresting to you
as a collector. There are though some bigger newsgroups, which are reaching
a bigger public, and where you can easely post almost anything on collecting
Tolkien, and have much more chance on a pleasing answer:
alt.fan.tolkien:
The two major Tolkien newsgroups are largely redundant and there is considerable
cross-posting. Use these newsgroups to buy and sell your Tolkien books,
make announcements about items you have on internet auctions and discuss
all middle-earth and Tolkien related subjects.
rec.arts.books.tolkien:
The rec Tolkien newsgroup. The two major Tolkien newsgroups are largely
redundant and there is considerable cross-posting. Use these newsgroups
to buy and sell your Tolkien books, make announcements about items you
have on internet auctions and discuss all middle-earth and Tolkien related
subjects.
