I don't know if I would have got through the Silmarillion the first time without Tyler and Foster to help me keep track of the similary name characters. I lent them to my god daughter when I hoped that she might get the Tolkien bug rather than merely the Orlando Bloom bug ... could use them still... time to reclaim ...

Well I never! I only discovered Tyler's guide around a year ago when I spotted it on eBay and decided to get meself a new treat (its a first edition). I didn't know he was a Scouser, and to boot involved in the music scene. He must have known John Peel (one of my heroes), and he established the irreverent NME we know today; not only that but he's responsible for Julie Burchill - some would not know whether to say if this is a good or a bad thing...
