J.R.R. Tolkien discussion

Okay, so, long story short, I want to give someone very dear to me a book about Elvish. The thing is, I know nothing of LotR/Middle Earth etc. whatsoever, which is why I need the help of all you experts out there... I know he'd like to learn Elvish... so, what book do you think would be best for this/him? Again, sorry if this all comes across as ignorant, I really have no idea. Any advice is appreciated!

If you want to give a book about the languages you could give to this person Pedin Edhellen: a Sindarin Course and Quenya Course.

I haven't read this myself, but I believe David Salo was a consultant on the LOTR films, and the book has high ratings on Goodreads: A Gateway to Sindarin: A Grammar of an Elvish Language from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

Thank you so much!

For perhaps more information and leads than you want, check out the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship website
