I also read Master of Middle-earth first after rereading LOTR for the first time in 30 years and I really, really liked it. I'm glad there aren't any awful errors in it or anything (I assume you would comment if that were so! :-))
I did try to read the one on the Sil and I don't know if I ever got through it.
The nice thing, imo, about Kocher is... it's not a chore to read. I appreciate a lot of what I read by other authors and they often make me think or go aha!... but I don't exactly enjoy reading them. Sometimes I have to make myself read them.
But Kocher was a joy and it made me love LOTR even more.
(ps: I'm glad you found this thread. I thought you would be a good resource)

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

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

That probably would have been smart to start with.

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