Even after buying The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit for the Kindle some of us may want, well, a little more.
So here are two Tolkien-ish related books I recommend (out of the… miasma… out there).

From the compiler of the wonderful The Annotated Hobbit ((Not yet available in Kindle form, but this is one of the big-deal annotated editions with plenty of pictures, drawings, maps, and references. In other words, a Real Book Worth Getting.)) comes a volume of fantasy stories that preceded and even influenced J.R.R. Tolkien.
