Introduction
The bibliography below is an attempt to list the books that have been published treating Tolkien, be they biographies, criticism, bibliographies, dictionaries, concordances, quiz books or any other book about Tolkien and his writings. Some categories are excluded, however. Works of fiction, based on Tolkienian events or characters are excluded as well as musical, theatrical or any other adaption of Tolkien's writings. This also goes for game books with a basis in Tolkien's writings.
Books about adaptions have due to Peter Jackson's films based on The Lord of the Rings become somewhat of a problem as some of these also treat Tolkien. In a sort of compromise between keeping them in or leaving them out I have noted them as an addendum to the bibliography proper under the heading Media related books. This list is restricted to filmed adaptions and does not list other books such as books about artists inspired by Tolkien, e.g. those about the Brothers Hildebrand.
Books are listed chronologically and alphabetically arranged within each year. At the end of the list there is a section on forthcoming books. The information in this section is by nature tentative and subject to change.
Apart from original editions of books I also list revised versions. As such editions are placed under the year they were published the same book might thus appear in several places in the list. Links are provided to the different editions.
I have also attempted to list reissues of books. In this case they appear as entries in the commentary to the original edition of the book in question and not as seperate records. Neither are they linked from the year of reissue unless the reissue appears under a new title or in a few cases where I am uncertain whether it is a case of a reissue or a revised edition.
This bibliography, however, does not list translations of books about Tolkien. It is possible that I might make a separate list of such books in the future.
The following categories of books are listed.
-
Works treating Tolkien in their entirety.
-
Works devoted to Tolkien to some extent. To meet this criterion a book must contain at least either a chapter or a paper devoted wholly or in part to Tolkien to be included in this list.
I have for practical reasons excluded encyclopedias with essays on Tolkien, including literary encyclopedias.
It must be emphasized that the following list only contains published books. Thus no doctoral or masters thesis are included, except in the few cases when they have seen a commercial publisher. It is possible that I might make a separate list for thesis in the future.
There is no minimum number number of pages that a chapbook must contain to be listed below. I have also included privately published books.
Thanks are due to all that have made suggestions for additions and corrections this list since it was originally published. Andrew Wells and Beregond, Anders Stenstrlöm. have been of especial help.
Lastly must noted that I plan to make two companion pages to this one. One is this list arranged in another fashion, listing the books according to subject,
another lists the articles that appears in the various collections listed below.

Introductory note to the 12th edition (2015)
After this document ceased to be regularly updated at the end of 2003 I made several attempts to continue work on it and several revised (and unpublished) versions exist up until August 2006. By that time I had added more than a hundred titles. The more it got delayed the stronger an impulse I felt not to publish an update until a reasonably complete version had been reached. At this stage work on it ceased completely due to lack of time and energy and also because I became acutely aware of the difficulty of continuing to maintain it as a purely text based document. I sought instead of ways to convert into a database, something that should have been done from the outset and not a time when it hade reached such a considerable size. This conversion attempt proved difficult, however, especially as I wanted to keep the companion document concerning additions and changes to this document.
Eventually I was not able to find a suitable solution to the database project which made work on this bibliography to cease altogether. It was not until the autumn of 2014 I felt a impetus strong enough to try to revive this project. By that time the bibliography had naturally become hopelessly outdated. At the same time I realised that if I should await publishing a new version until the whole of the period from 2004 to 2014 had been adequately covered there would be a very clear risk of the project foundering again. So I decided to go for an intermediary solution instead, that of adding the books published in 2012 and 2013 to the last version from 2006 to bring it reasonably up to date concerning the most recent and then continue from there. My plan was after this to add the books from 2011 and 2014 and then continue backwards and forwards until the gap remaining had been covered. This plan, which seemed sound at the time has not worked out quite as I would have liked it to. I did add a fair number of books from 2012 and 2013 during last autumn, but before I had managed to cover this period sufficiently work stopped again. Now with more than six month since I last worked on this bibliography I finally reached the conclusion that the only reasonable way to deal with this is to simply publish the bibliography in this "as is" state and then try to continue work on it from there.
So, with this rather lengthy note what I offer is an update that adds a fair number of books from the periods 2004 to 2006 and 2012 to 2013 without any ambition to cover these years in a "complete" way. No work has been done on the section Forthcoming books which makes it look rather odd as most of the books listed there have either been published, postponed indefinitely or withdrawn altogether. No work at all had been done at at all to the section Media related books altough I am acutely aware that literature in this area has proliferated immensely both concerning scholarly and popular books. No work either has been done concerning the separate document Additions and Changes to A Chronological Bibliography of Books About Tolkien, which means that this does not list the 150 or so books that have been added to this bibliography since the latest edition of it was published in 2003.

Revised ed. of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien Manuscript Collection, ca. 1930- . The preface states that the original inventory was put together by Kathleen G. Hughes, Judith Jablonski och Kathleen Johnson Reck in 1978 to 1979 and that a revision was made in 1982 by Terry Margherita with the consultation of T.J. Santoski. On p. 39 is said: "updated and revised 11/82". Whether this refers to the entire inventory or just this page is unclear, it cannot however have been printed before this date. My copy was acquired in July 1987, and the catalogue does not include the manuscripts pertaining to early versions of The Lord of the Rings that Christorpher Tolkien has added to the
collection at this time and later.
Series 5-7: Inventories to Printed Literature. [S.a.] [19] leaves. 28 × 21.5 cm.

This version cannot have been put together before autumn 1986 since the last issue of Weathertop listed is no. 4 (Autumn 1986).

Described as revised and expanded in the entry in Amazon.co.uk as of April 2003 as well as in library database entries.

This is substantiated by the fact that the preface remains unchanged from the 1996 edition.

Pearce, Joseph: Literary Converts: Spiritual Inspiration in an Age of Unbelief. London: HarperCollinsReligious, 1999. xii, 452 pp. 25 cm
ISBN 0-00-628111-7
There are quotations from the book jacket in the record of the MARCQAT (Marquette Library database, record no. 41466351) which indicates that Tolkien is treated in the book: "The twentieth century has been marked both by belief and unbelief. While church attendance has declined, the lives of many of the most salient figures of our times have been influenced and inspired by Christianity." "Literary Converts takes us on a journey into the deepest beliefs of some of the greatest writers in the English language: Oscar Wilde, Evelyn Waugh, C. S. Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, Graham Greene, Edith Sitwell, Siegfried Sassoon, Hilaire Belloc, G. K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, T. S. Eliot and J. R. R. Tolkien. The role of George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells in intensifying the religious debate despite not being converts themselves is also considered." The same record also gives a complete listing of the chapter titles. This listing however gives no indication at all that Tolkien is treated in the book. As I have not seen it myself I cannot judge whether or not Tolkien is treated to the extent to warrant inclusion in the present list.
