About the Red Book...

[Genealogy_dude]

Parts 1 and 2 were at the library the other day...should I have gotten them?

If it's Tolkien... of course!

But was the Red Book of Westmarch not Frodo's journal, which was "The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King", which is what we know as LotR?

In other words... if you're asking if you should check out LotR, then yes! :D

Otherwise, why haven't I heard of this Red Book? :confused:

The Red Book of Westmarch is, in fact, Frodo's, Bilbo's, and Sam's journal. This Red Book, was created by either J.R.R. or Chris Tolkien. (I don't know which) It is seperated into 2 seperate parts. It adds to what we know as LotR.

Genealogy_dude: Perhaps you know more about this “Red Book” now?
