Marquette Tolkien in Sixty Seconds

So, thanks to Janice and to Jim Lowder for the link to this nice little piece: a brief account and overview of Marquette's Tolkien Collection.

As someone who's spent a lot of time with this collection, let me say if you ever get the chance to see this in person, it's well worth the visit.

P.S.: can you spot the point where they briefly show my book?

I was able to visit the collection at least twice -- once was prior to a lecture you gave about the writing of your book on the History of the Hobbit, which was a highlight of my many years as a Tolkien fan (both seeing the collection and hearing you speak)!
