Are the books The Complete Guide to ME and The Atlas of ME good reference books? and whether they are or not what are other good ones? - thanks everyone

I love them both, Michael Martinez will tell you that Atlas of the Middle Earth has some major flaws (I read his Amazon.com review. [I'm not stalking him]) I think it is a great refrence to be oriented on the locations of characers. I also love the Guide, I think it is the best non-Tolkien middle earth book ever.

The Complete Guide To Middle-earth by Robert Foster is by far IMHO the best reference book available on Tolkien's works. However, it is somewhat out dated since it contains no reference material pertaining to any of the HoMe or Unfinished Tales, but it is still a great help for LotRs and the Silmarillion.

And The Hobbit.

You should really check out Michael Martinez's review at Amazon.com for both of them
