Tolkien's new work!

Hey guys. Don't know if any of you Brits out there get the Times- or have read it in any other papers but did you see the article about Tolkien's last great work. Someone found this old manuscript of his in an Oxford library. Its a translation and appraisal of Beowulf and is the basis (they say) for his elven language! Don't know if this has been posted about before but its so amazing. They say they're going to publish it. Just wondered if anyone else had heard about it and if so, who's going to buy it? I'm down for a copy as soon as it touches the shelves! Mx
