That really annoys me).I found David Day (Tolkien Companion, Illustrated Encyclopedia and an Atlas) to be a good source for light Tolkien reference - ie, well researched, fairly comprehensive and easy reading. Only of moderate value if you're intending to do some serious study, though.</blockquote>
