A quick postscript....
If you are interested in learning about the languages in the books, I can provide some links to online and printed dictionaries of the elven, dwarven, and black (orcen) languages. Some even have audio pronounciation guides... In addition, there are grammar guides, and links for atlases, maps, histories...
It is one of the most researched works known to man...
gotta love it...
