a SURVEY - if you can spare a moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

**lindil** · 02-20-2003, 03:21 AM

I am interested in doing a bit of research into the various guides and Encyclopedias of M-E that are out there and I would appreciate any feedback you might have along the lines of the following questions:

What did you like or not like in the 'Guides/Encyclopedias to Middle-Earth' that you have you read/consulted.

And what would you most like to see in your 'ideal' guide?

Anything [besides bad artwork, although I realize that is quite important] that you really do not want to see?

What kind of questions would you like such guides to answer if they are out of the ordinary.

Much thanks for those of you who can take the time to answer.

Also, this is essentially the same survey as in Books, so obviouslly there is no need to reply to both.
