It's an invaluable reference.

That's the book I remember reading them
in...but I don't currently have a copy, and my
local library is still closed for construction. And
my funds are rather tight at the moment. As I
stated, I'm currently reading LotR for the fifth
time, and I'm also plugging away at parts of
the Silmarillion. Like Grish said, it's boring the
first time through, and to be honest, I still find it
boring and hard to follow at parts. I'm in the
process of reading about the fall of Numenor,
which I've read before, but is my favorite part of
the Silmarillion. I also bought "The Shaping of
Middle-Earth", or something to that effect.
Haven't started it yet. I think the next collection
I'm going to complete, now that I've finished
some parts of my music CD collection, is to
buy all of the History of Middle-Earth books,
and what not.
