Vincent Ferré, spécialiste reconnu de #Tolkien a récemment communiqué ses difficultés avec les Éditions Christian Bourgois. Auteur, directeur d’ouvrages de référence comme le "Dictionnaire Tolkien", il a œuvré pour rassembler universitaires, chercheurs et passionnés. L’association tolkienienne indépendante "Le Dragon de Brume" exprime son soutien et espère une résolution rapide des problèmes rencontrés.
