British writer (1943–2006)
James Edward Anthony Tyler (31 October 1943 in Bristol – 28 October 2006 in Hastings, East Sussex) was a British writer who authored several books and wrote for the magazines "NME"," Macworld", "MacUser", "PC Pro" and "Computer Shopper".
He joined the "NME" in 1972, recruited by editor Alan Smith.
He was an early expert on the Middle-earth fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, publishing The Tolkien Companion in 1976. It was a concordance describing all the characters, objects, and places named in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" ("The Silmarillion" was published the following year). A revised edition was still in print in 2022 as The Complete Tolkien Companion.
