Heh - just looked at the photo. Didn't think it was that different. Just what folks were wearing at the time. (Found a copy of R2R at a used bookstore last summer.)
As to the LOTR/Hobbit. Been a fan since junior high. Used to be pretty obsessive about collecting Tolkein items. But recently cut back to a couple copies of the Hobbit and one paperback set of LOTR. Slight Riv-related content; back in the late 1970's and early 1980's, my family visited the SF region on vacation a few times. During one visit, ended up at a shop on Fisherman's Wharf that had the chess pieces Fellowship Foundry was producing. Picked up a couple items. Then for the next few years, my aunt would give me a piece or two to add to the set. By the time I graduated high school, had a complete Hobbit chess set. (Which, luckily, I still own). Always wondered if Grant was aware of those sets? Seemed like the kind of thing he'd like. Well made and slightly quirky.
