Some of this book is available free on google books, its an interesting read if you like history and middle earth. Lots of cool linguistic names and Anglo Saxon words.

The older Anglo Saxon names sound a lot like elvish names. We all know Tolkien was a great linguist who was well learned in the older Anglo Saxon texts and its neat to see the examples where he could have gotten some of his inspiration from.
