Q1 - how do you define biggest? Size, sales, impact? In any case, I'll pick LOTR.

Q2 - how do you define record? Album or single? I'll pick I've got you babe

But that's three books. Well, in fairness it's six books, but no-one sees it like that. I'd say Return of the King was longest of the three. But as a 'Well 'ard' quiz, surely it's a bit more obscure than that

If we count several volumes as counting as one book, then The History of Middle Earth easily wins.

Or if we count all his works as one book, then "Tolkein: the full collection" wins.

Happy Re: The well hard quiz

everybody is wrong so far .... this is the well hard quiz after all.

and Bung you are wrong on the Sonny and Cher question as well.

As for the definition of the term used lets just say that the words are chosen very carefully

Nope and nope

I thought we would have had more Tolkien fans on this forum that would have nailed this straight away.
