Middle-Earth for Dummies

I thought Peter Jackson already did that?? Zing!! Heh-heh...

Clearly a case of Cashing In. It's rife these days. Sad but predictable, especially given the propensity of your average Rings fan (myself included) to accumulate things Tolkien. I restrict myself either to books or gag items (such as a Gimli school book LOL!) but I'm no less guilty than people who flock to the shops for cheap crap such as the Horse and Rider figures.

Worst thing of all is, I don't think the Middle-Earth for Dummies book looks all that bad! Yes, I'm mental, but I would be happy to add that to my bookshelf, half in jest of course.
