- It's called _Tolkien The Illustrated Encyclopaedia_ by David Day and I
- would definitely recommend it. I live in Campbell and a nearby
- bookstore, "Books Inc." carried it. In fact, they have an entire shelf
- of Tolkien books, next to the fantasy section. It's in Town and Country
- Village but I doubt you will be visiting that if you are in Los Angeles.
