Sorry I can't post a pic as I have a "dumb phone", not a smartphone But I was perusing the book section at Costco yesterday (a bulk warehouse store) while waiting for them to refill my printer ink cartridges and I saw a (either leather or man made leather) stamped Tolkien dictionary. Most of the stuff in there were basically places, terms, phrases unique to Middle-earth (like orc, elf, Minas Tirith, etc). But I certainly wasn't expecting it to be there, nor was I expecting Tolkien-based items to be grouped together with classics like Black Beauty, Jane Eyre, etc (though in my opinion, he's DEFINITELY a classic! Public schools just don't think so). I don't know if they are offering it online at their website, costco.com, but it was a very neat thing to see When have you come across Tolkien in unexpected places?
