57 The Tolkien FAQ and LessFAQ (Where to get Middle-Earth info - Tolkien)
Years ago, William D. B. Loos compiled two superb lists of
frequently asked questions and answers. They are well written and well
documented, and most of the conclusions that they reach have stood the
test of time (some have even been strengthened by information that has
been published since they were written). They are posted to the
newsgroups roughly every four weeks. For convenience, they are also
available in HTML form; the web addresses follow, along with each FAQ's
summary.
The Tolkien FAQ consists of "Frequently Asked Questions about the
author J.R.R. Tolkien: questions commonly raised by the first reading
of _The Hobbit_ or _The Lord of the Rings_; details of the background
mythology and invented history which relate directly to the stories;
biographical matters." It is on the web at

The Tolkien LessFAQ consists of "Less Frequently Asked Questions
about the author J.R.R. Tolkien: questions on his lesser known works;
questions on deeper and/or more obscure details of the invented
history, background mythology, and matters philological and
theological." It is on the web at
