User:Astraflame/Tolkien Disregarded Sources

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All of these sources are reputable, but seemed unnecessary to me for re-writing an article on The Lord of the Rings. Some may need to be salvaged for other articles and will eventually be re-added to the main bibliography, particularly the works on The Silmarillion as I was unable to be consistent about which one of these I left out.
