I read this book front to back! What a great resource. I have read the Lord of the Rings and many other works by Tolkien many times, including the History of Middle Earth series, so for me there was no real new information or insights. I do recommend this book to people who pick up the Lord of the Rings for the first time, to really use it as intended, as a reading companion. It clarifies things that can be confusing during the first read. It is really like a dictionary, so what could have improved is some extra info explaining the LOTR appendices.

"So I was checking my books and saw I have this hardcopy twice.. oops! I must have gotten both from the thrift shop. I'll bring one to the Little Free Library this afternoon and start in the other."
