A review by tukuvwi
The Ring of Words: Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary by Peter Gilliver, E.S.C. Weiner, Jeremy Marshall

4.0

This is a delightful little book. The bulk of the text is taken up by a number of "word studies" of words coined, revived, or notably used by Tolkien in his fiction. My only complaint is that many of the word studies were too short, but then I have a lot of patience for etymological discussions.
