The last week-or-so has seen the publication of not one, but TWO Real Books with work of mine in it, my first real article and my first encyclopedia entry.
"Of Mills and Meaning" is in Wind & Water in the Middle Ages: Fluid Technologies from Antiquity to the Renaissance, edited by Steven A. Walton, is published by ACMRS.
"Technology in Middle Earth" is in the J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia, edited by Michael Drout, is published by what used to be Routledge. (More information on how the volume ended up in quite the shape it did can be found here.

(Were you ever involved in the Tolkien sessions at K'zoo? I have colleagues who did that.)
No, although I may have been to one or two of the Tokien at K'zoo sessions along the way. The encyclopedia article came out of my Discovery Channel piece on the subject back in 2001, not any other academic work I've done on the subject. (Although, of course, for the encyclopedia article I had to properly research it in a way I couldn't with three day's notice for the t.v. piece.)
So a giant w00t!! for you!
You deserve to be very excited :-)
It's both exciting and anticlimactic - I haven't worked on either of these pieces in nearly a year!
;-)
(That story about what happened to the encyclopaedia makes it sound hugely frustrating.)
I must see if library will get Wind and Water.
