Welcome to the Downs Veon -

and to answer your question I would say partially. The HoME/UT books all 13 and what 4,000 pages are about the history/evolution of the writings , and of course the texts themselves.

My question has more to do with a guide such as The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth or A Tolkien Encyclopedia or The New Tolkien Companion by JEA Tyler.

It is a difference of Source books [CJRT's productions] and reference books.

Hope that clears it up.

And Dondagnirion, thanks for the offer, if I ever hear of someone actually doing this I will pass your PM along [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].
