I find The Complete Guide To Middle Earth absolutely indispensible, so definately get a copy if you can. I have only recently acquired The Atlas, but so far it has been very helpful for getting me...

Faramir: Were you a friend of Boromir?
Frodo: Yes, I was his friend, for my part.
Faramir: Then you would grieve to learn that Boromir is dead?
