That is totally one of my favorite books. I'm always flipping through it when I'm bored, and it's so useful while reading the books! I'm always going to a diagram of something or other while I'm reading about it in LotR. And I think that another name for that book should be "Lands in the Silmarillion Made Easy" because it really helped me to understand things better while I was reading it for the second time this summer.

"And Maglor answered: 'If it be truly the Silmaril which we saw cast into the sea that rises again by the power of the Valar, then let us be glad; for its glory is seen now by many, and is yet secure from all evil.' Then the Elves looked up, and despaired no longer, but Morgoth was filled with doubt." -The Silmarillion.
