J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Art of the Manuscript is an exhibition catalogue which accompanies an 2022 exhibition of the same name.

The exhibition was held between 19 August and 23 December 2022, organized collaboratively by Marquette University's Raynor Memorial Libraries and the Haggerty Museum of Art, curated by Tolkien Archivist William M. Fliss and Dr. Sarah C. Schaefer.

The book reproduces the complete object list in color, including 147 items both from Marquette's collection and from other repositories, many of which have never been exhibited or published. It was also nominated for the Tolkien Society Award for the best book in 2023.
