Reviews

"Certainly, Gateway is likely to appeal to the truly serious fan of Tolkien's languages."--The Bulletin of The New York C.S. Lewis Society

"David Salo ... wrote A Gateway to Sindarin after his work on the films--it's the single best print resource for the language."--Voya Voice of Youth Advocate
