Why We Love Middle-earth

Greetings little masters,

As you may have heard, Alan and Shawn have a book coming out in 2023!
Titled “Why We Love Middle-earth: An Enthusiast’s Book about Tolkien, Middle-earth & the LOTR Fandom”, it is a guidebook for those delving deeply in to Middle-earth for the first time, or seeking their own entry point into Tolkien fandom.

Each chapter introduces a different book, adaptation or fan interest – from language to collecting and beyond – with a view to assisting readers to understand more about Middle-earth as they read along with us.

If you enjoy fandom books like Why We Love Star Wars, or a good book about Tolkien’s works such as Atlas of Middle-earth or Recipes from the World of Tolkien, then we think you’ll love Why We Love Middle-earth.

We will of course be keeping you up to date on the Prancing Pony Podcast and here on the website, but you can expect the book to release in September 2023. Amazon are already taking pre-orders – see the links below. We can’t wait for you all to enjoy our literary debut!
