Houghton-Mifflin has jumped aboard TheOneRing.net party wagon and is offering you, the Tolkien fan a way to have some fun with your fellow TORNados and at the same time enter yourself in a contest to win a beautiful Alan Lee illustrated copy of “The Lord Of The Rings” book retailing in book stores now for $80.
To help warm up TORN’s party machine, book stores around the world will debut Houghton’s four new movie tie in books and hold a special TheOneRing.net event where 20 or more TORNados are ready to gather on November 6. The publisher’s eyes are on TORN now to see how well we can rally the troops. Qualifying cities will be directed to a bookstore in their area that will host the event.
Anybody can sign up for the contest and event on the TORN line-party page. New participants are welcome, but each line veteran will need to find his/her name on his/her party list and click the Houghton-Mifflin icon. After signing up, party leaders will count heads at the event and those who sign up and attend will enter the pool of eligible winners.
The book store event is also an excellent chance for lines to gear up for the December movie events. Plus, who doesn’t want to spend a little time with fellow Tolkienites looking at beautiful pictures and insightful words about the can’t-come-soon-enough “The Two Towers”? This is also a chance to meet Tolkien readers in your community who haven’t discovered the joys of TORN and movie line parties and include them in your group.
The books to be released on Nov. 6th 2002 from Houghton Mifflin:
 The Two Towers Visual Companion |
 The Making of the Movie Trilogy |
 The Lord of the Rings Creatures |
 The Two Towers Photo Guide |
Visit the Line Party page and either sign-up with an existing line, or start one in your area! Don’t miss this opportunity to win great prizes and hang out with other Tolkien fans! [More]
