The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
This was delightful. It provides a lot of cool information and explanations about Hobbit, LOTR, and Silmarillion that might be around elsewhere but it was nice having it in one place.
There was some information that got repeated, but it was interesting to see how Tolkien explained the same thing to different people, and what (if anything) changed in his explanations over the years.
This collection humanizes Tolkien (who obviously we know was human) and shows faults and graces in equal measure, ensuring a good portrait of the great creator.
