The disrespect David day have earned from more or less everybody who studies Tolkien seriously, should be enough to convince you, besides that even Christopher Tolkien (that profits highly the more hype there is around the works of his father) chritisises David Day for being an writer that knows little about Tolkiens works and still writes book about it for profit - Biggist problem is that a lot of people that doesnt know this about David Day takes what he writes for given fact... which I think is sad!

That you enjoy the books is fine, but please dont use anything found in David Day books as the base material for questions about the works of JRR Tolkien
