My mother asked me to make a Christmas gift list, a list of things I would like to get. I was thinking of a Tolkien handybook (Tolkien Encyclopaedia). I know there is a large variety of handybooks, some good and some not so good. I would like to get one that is worth getting, one that has all the right information and a author who knows what he/she is talking about. Does anyone have any suggestions on the ideal book?

I would have PMed someone and asked this question but I think a list of excellent books and a list of books that one should stay away from, will not only be to benefit me but also other Tolkien hanybook searchers.

Best Wishes,
Elsilda
