The ultimate Tolkien encyclopedia. Just perfect for all the reference check one has to do while reading the main books.

Since this is more of an encyclopedia than an actual "book", I only looked up the things relevant to my essay and found the information very.... informative? Idk, I think it will be useful at least and there is a lot of information in this book about almost everything pertaining to the world of Middle-Earth.

I absolutely adore this book. It's fantastic to have around whenever anyone happens to ask me something about Lord of the Rings that I don't actually know. I love having it on hand as reference material. Speaking as someone who has had great difficulty when trying to read [b:The Silmarillion|7332|The Silmarillion|J.R.R. Tolkien|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1336502583s/7332.jpg|4733799], it really helps explain how events which took place outside of The Lord of the Rings came to pass.

I've checked this book out of my local library so many times, and I was thrilled when I finally got my own personal copy.

The pictures interspersed among the entries are gorgeous and always worth some attention.

Love this book and would recommend to any fan of Lord of the Rings. Anyone who is not so big on Middle Earth and the lore around it probably wouldn't enjoy this book quite so much.
