Umm, I hate it when there isn't anything on the back, so I'll do my best to do a bit of blurb.

This is a complete A - Z guide to names, places and events in Tolkien's world, Middle-Earth. A one stop reference that gives biographical and factual information along with page references to the most popular editions.

This is a fantastic book, and one that I've used as a reference for about 15 years. Which probably explains why my copy has died horribly, and is now nothing more than random pages held together by the other books on my shelf. My dad bought me a new copy for Xmas, which will be wonderful to dip into as I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and other Tolkien works.
