A comprehensive Tolkien reference book sold exclusively at Costco, this volume belongs to the tradition of illustrated encyclopedic guides to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien. These reference works draw on decades of scholarship to explore the vast mythology, history, characters, and geography of Middle-earth, making them ideal for fans and newcomers alike.

David Day's Tolkien reference books, widely available at Costco, cover the full scope of Tolkien's legendarium — from the races, languages, and battles described in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit to the deeper mythology of The Silmarillion. Beautifully illustrated with maps, artwork, and character guides, these books serve as authoritative companions to Tolkien's literary universe.
