Middle-earth for Dummies... That is really a strikingly bad idea.
It is truly sad what low regard booksellers and the American media in general hold their customers in. There are already plenty of insightful books into the world of JRR Tolkien, as well as, of course, Tolkien's books themselves. Do we the Tolkien purists really have to sit here and watch as Tolkien's world is turned into an unintelligent, packaged, lower-tier multimedia empire?
