Imladris - 2023 Upcoming Tolkien books



2023 Upcoming Tolkien-related books

Welcome to the first edition of the "2023 Upcoming Tolkien-related books” page. These are the expected releases for (English language) Tolkien-related material over the course of 2023 and looking into 2024. The list may (and most likely will) change over the course of the year and I am sure there will be additions made.

Please note: I do not include David Day books, you are welcome to look for those yourselves. Sadly, he’s a controversial figure within the Tolkien community.
