Hi.

Can anybody tell me something about the demographic features of Middle-Earth? What is the population density or the number of inhabitants(I know that Tolkien isn't exact here, but ME alwas seemed so vast and empty to me with only a few islands inhabitet by people[probably also about First and Second Age?]), how far is it from Hobbiton to Minas Tirith, as the crow flies and so on?

For the distances I could as well read Fonstad's Book, but I would like to know, if there are any other sources. Thanks a lot.
