The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide
The Lord of the Rings : A Reader’s Companion
A superb in depth companion to The Lord of the Rings - I think this was originally intended to be published as an ‘annotated’ Lord of the Rings with all the entries as footnotes to the published text, but it ended up as a stand alone book. And a very fine one at that.

The Song of Middle-earth
Study of Tolkien’s works. I have a feeling that the author, David Harvey, may have been a contestant on the BBC’s ‘Mastermind’ quiz show, answering questions about Tolkien. There’s a chance he may have been the winner, too.

Little paperback study by Colin Wilson. I have a feeling that there was some problem with the title of this book - that Tolkien felt it was too similar to ‘Tree and leaf’. Or something.
