@Spencer - The book has plenty of new Tolkien content, but it isn't for everyone. For example, I wouldn't recommend the book to anyone who finds Unfinished Tales or HoMe too intimating. Or to someone who doesn't like reading lots and lots of math.– ibidCommented Aug 29, 2021 at 1:23

@ibid Speaking of recommendations, would you recommend UT to someone who enjoyed Beren and Luthien or the Fall and Gondolin? And would you recommend HoMe (or some of its volumes) to someone who enjoyed UT, or is it very different in nature from it?– WadeCommented Aug 29, 2021 at 9:54

1@Wade - If you enjoyed LotR's Appendix A then you should try UT (think of it as a less organized collection of more in-universe history). If you enjoyed B&L and FoG then you should try HoMe (which is like those two books, but more commentary heavy and tackles the whole legendarium together instead on a single tale at a time).– ibidCommented Aug 29, 2021 at 10:12

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
