The Complete Guide To Middle-earth




''The Complete Guide to Middle-earth'' is a reference book for the Fictional Universe of J. R. R. Tolkien 's Middle-earth , compiled and edited by Robert Foster.

It was originally published in 1971. A new edition came out in 1978 soon after the publication of '' The Silmarillion '', and a revised edition (ISBN 0345449762) was published in 2001 in time for the Lord Of The Rings Movie Trilogy .

''The Complete Guide to Middle-earth'' is generally recognised as excellent reference book on Middle-earth. However, as it does not include information on post-Silmarillion material (i.e. ''Unfinished Tales'' and the ''History of Middle-earth'' series), the 1978 edition contains some assertions contradicted by later publications.
