This is not a Wikipedia article: This is a
workpage, a collection of material and work in progress that may or may not be incorporated into an article. It should not necessarily be considered factual or authoritative.
All of these sources are reputable, but seemed unnecessary to me for re-writing an article on The Lord of the Rings. Some may need to be salvaged for other articles and will eventually be re-added to the
main bibliography, particularly the works on
The Silmarillion as I was unable to be consistent about which one of these I left out.
