Well, if you must look at Day, look only at the pictures!!!!!!! But if you're going to do that, frankly even there I think Day have been surpassed by Hammaond and Scull's Tolkien art book, Fonstad, and a number of artists who have taken on Tolkien subjects. But I know what you mean, I still have a fondness for the Hildebrands' Tolkien works, but I know a lot of people who roundly criticize them (and they did get a lot of details wrong). |

By the way, the Smith book you mentioned in the first post (Weapons and Warfare of Middle-Earth) is definitely not Tolkien canon. They took the movies and drew a lot of assumptions from them. However, the book is a very interesting read, so read it with that one caveat in mind.
