I'd interpret "secondary sources" [In reply to] Can't Post

...to be works by authors other than Tolkien. I'd particularly recommend Tom Shippey's books "The Road to Middle Earth" and "J. R. R. Tolkien, Author of the Century", Brian Rosebury's "Tolkien: A Cultural Phenomenon", Humphrey Carpenter's "J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biography", and the "Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien" edited by Humphrey Carpenter. And I agree with Magpie that Verlyn Flieger's books would be helpful.

Your library should have all of these.
