LOTR sales [In reply to] Can't Post
I read on the net that LOTR before the movies had sold roughly 100 million copies, and just after the movies, that number had risen to 150 million. That's an enormous raise!


And geordie, welcome to Beorn's house Laugh


The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
