why don't you list what you consider to be 'the usual books' ...

...so you are sure to get ones outside that sphere? What races and what kind of information are you looking to include in your guide? That might help with suggestions, as well. And, do you have access to a library? Public? university? You're going to get some book suggestions and I doubt you'll want to purchase them all. edit to add additional thought: are you sticking strictly to what Tolkien has written and resource books that talk about what Tolkien has written? Or are you covering the film-verse? What the 'film' says about Elves isn't necessarily what Tolkien says about elves. :-) I think providing these few pieces of info will allow for people to really give you some good suggestions. (and ones to avoid, I suspect)

I'm a new person with a question but I'm not really sure where I should put it.

I'm waiting to hear back from my teacher on her definition of secondary sources....
