On further examination of its contents however, you might think you've grabbed a sort of university text.

From the first look you can see that the text in the entire book is in a postscript font, the typical typewriter typed sort text albeit also in a slightly faded sensemaking it often difficult to keep your eyes on for long.

I can basically spend hours either critisizing or promting the book, but as a writer seeking insipiration for a fantasy novel I will present a clear and fair opinion.

The book is not really a typical book per say, though it has a content and structure of sorts it is more a collection of what seems like published typed scripts.

This book is basically a collection of descriptions about the origins of fan developed language and lingual words and structures from the time when the great tolkien himself first published the first copies of the LOTR saga, from various parts of the world.

Anyway, while it does provide one with various examples of words in the various languages used by the races oin the world of the lord of the rings along with what basic instructions as to how to develop ones own unique languages, this book is not for the beginner, more a book for a 3rd year Linguistics student, the text is very complicated to study and even more so to read, though one can quite often take a few interesting phrases and customize them to be your own, it is more about history of how they came to be than anything else.

For those avid RPG players one will see the various many distinct similarities that great RPGs such as D&D have had to the types of lingual usuage and in the same sort of structure especially the "Elven" and nature deity's names and identifications.

I hope there truly are easier to understand and study books out there for would fans of the elven and other languages first borne by Tolkiens works.
