A Dictionary of Tolkien (1) (Tolkien Illustrated Guides) Paperback – September 10, 2013

I bought this for my son who wanted to write about the stories but needed a quick reference for how to spell some of the names and places. It is a beautiful book and we will be buying more from the set.

It’s awesome. I’ve got more books by him in my cart

I'm really enjoying this book and I love the binder because for a paperback it has a nice cover which isn't paper and is an attractive book for my Tolkien collection.

Excellent book. It has a lot of information any Tolkein fan will enjoy. It is almost like a condenced Simillariain and the other extra tails, all the info in an easy to read form.

This was very well put together. I like how each entry was a little story. If you need a book the explain something by how it relates to Tolkien's world, this is the book for you.

My daughter loves all things Tolkien, and I didn't think there was any trivia left that she didn't know, but this book has provided her with new information to add to her already-sizable repertoire. Would definitely buy again.

I discovered David Day's books in a bookstore in Iceland, came home and bought all three: The Dictionary, Atlas, and Battles. I'm quite in love with them, but posting primarily to let folks know about the sticker on the back. I'm a bit put out that I damaged the back of at least one of the leatherette covers in order to get the sticker off. Who does that to a good book (or any book for that matter)?! Books are considered a treasure by many and the big, sticky sticker on the back cover is a way of defacing them. The books, on their own, would merit five stars, but as sold through Amazon, only four, since I believe the cover, binding, and print, etc. should be considered. They all came this way, so that's clearly how they're sold through Amazon. Buyer beware.

This is absolutely amazing!!!! I love this book. The drawings in it are fabulous, and the history in it is quite accurate (read Tolkien's works since I was 6 years old).I can highly recommend it; worth the money!

Will satisfy all Tolkien fans nice cover, Included the A-z of his bboks if your a fan this is a great book to haveWith pictures and in depth descriptions even has a description and small history of a 'Horse', great little cover feels like leather but obviously it's not that's what makes these books a must as well

Keşke diğer serileri de aynı oranda indirime girse de alabilsem. Muazzam kalitede muazzam bir baskı. Kitabın dışı işlemeli gibi bir harika. İçerik de oldukça iyi, Tolkien evrenine detaylarıyla ve daha derli toplu şekilde bakmak isteyenlere güzel bir kaynak.

Mit diesem Band habe ich nun alle Bücher aus David Day Tolkien-Reihe.Nicht nur der Inhalt mit den zahlreichen, hübschen Illustrationen, sondern auch die äußere Aufmachung gefällt mir ganz hervorragend.Das lederartige Softcover mit der eingeprägten goldenen Schrift und der Zeichnung ist wieder überaus gelungen.Beim Inhalt handelt es sich um eine Art alphabetisches Lexikon der Begriffe aus Tolkiens Ring-Trilogie.Und der Preis von knapp 11 Euro ist echt der Hammer!Von mir 5 Sterne.

Un ottimo prodotto, dettagliato e curato nei particolari; le illustrazioni lo rendono anche gradevole alla vista, oltre che utile nella lettura. Ottima la sezione finale relativa ai riferimenti (collega ogni voce all'opera tolkieniana di riferimento). Nel complesso un bellissimo libro anche "da esporre" per gli amanti di Arda.

es un libro de pequeño formato no como el Bestiario de David Day, pero es una compilación a modo de diccionario del mundo de Tolkien, para fans
