This text is a must own for any veterinarian, especially those whose primary field of practice is feline medicine. The numerous examples of disease are great. My staff and I have used this book on an almost daily basis.

It's a nice little book, that's it. It has some poems about Tolkien and his world with no rhymes (mostly) and some quotes. Some older people or some professors :) might like it, but not me. The only reason I gave it three stars is because it had two funny poems in there.

An essay of Auden's does appear in the book. It is in fact, a hodgepodge of Tolkien related material, mostly essays (including a short biography) but also stories set in Middle Earth, songs, poems, word games, and even recipies written by other authors. It is an interseting look at Tolkien fandom. I found the black & white interior illustrations simply breathtaking the first time I saw this book. For me, it is the most important Tolkien related book not actually written by him, and the one that is most worth having. I found it at a library over ten years ago, and recently gave up hope of ever seeing it again, but here it is.

This hobbit's journal is an impeccable display of an artist's visions of Middle-Earth setting and character. The calligraphy and layout of the journal is wonderful. Each page has deliberately yellowed paper for journal writing, but who would wish to disturb such a balance or artwork and imagination?

The Tolkien Scrapbook contains reviews and scholarly articles on Tolkien and his works, as well as original illustrations and fan fiction. It's great for the dedicated Tolien fan, but not for everyone. I might also add that fans of the Brothers Hildebrandt and/or Terry Brooks may be a little offended by some articles.
