Speaking of books..... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Summer is a good time to catch up on extra reading. I'm always looking for new titles and ideas. There's at least two threads up now asking for advice on particular titles.

I want to pose a more general question. What are your favorite books about Tolkien's life, his writings, the film adaptations of his books, or related fantasy artwork? It could be an older volume, or something that's come out in the last year because of all the hype with the movie.

Thought it might be fun to hear what others have read and keep that in mind when I go barrelling into the Barrow-downs book shop or to my neighborhood bookstore.

Also, a related question, has anyone read Michael Martinez's book Visualising Middle-earth? What is that about? Did you find it helpful?
