Need help
I was just going through my books and was wondering, what are all the titles in the Histories of Middle Earth? I've been wondering because I want the serise and can't seem to find all of them.

Sometimes volume 9 is shorted, and named The End of the Third Age.
Here is an article about the History of Middle-earth series on Wikipedia with more information:

Happy reading!

Many Thanks
Thank you much, with any hopes I'll actually be able to find them localy and at the time when I can afford them. I try , but it's hard to support my over all bibliophilia, and my tolkien habit too.

If cost is the main criteria, you can often pick them up online very cheaply indeed, often for less than the cost of postage, or not much more. The first five volumes are usually packaged on sale on Ebay for around $US20 total for all five.
But a uniform edition of all of them does look good, so it's worth shopping specially to get that. Harper-Collins do an all-black version, and have done a series with John Howe's illustrations on the cover.

Thanks and...
I'll look into that. I love the idea of matched sets, they look better in that library my wife and I call a bed room. Also (forgive my ignorance) where does the "Quenta Silmarilion" fit into this whole thing.

In a nutshell, the
Quenta Silmarillion
is the history of the Elves in the west of Middle-earth in the First Age. It evolved from the Lost Tales; the stories got developed and revised throughout the years. There are versions from different periods in the HoME volumes 4, 5, 10, and 11, and the published
Silmarillion
was edited from these texts.

Perhaps a better title for the series would have been "The History of the History of Middle-earth" (because that is what the series is, thinking big picture), but I guess that might have confused people...

There's always interlibrary loans if it gets too costly.
