The J. R. R. Tolkien Companion and Guide by Christina Scull and Wayne Hammond is essential to all things Tolkien.
I compiled a list with links to Free and Open Access Journals which will offer a large amount of detail not only about Tolkien but the Inklings and extended subjects.
And I recently posted a selection of unpublished letters which offer some intriguing letters that were left out of the published 'Letters of'.
The only official biography is Humphrey Carpenter's Tolkien but there are other works which I and others regard as essential. John Garth's Tolkien and the Great War is excellent. Tom Shippey's Road to Middle-earth is also worth a read. The Inklings again by Humphrey carpenter offers some valuable insights to how the Inklings interacted and includes a large amount of biographical information.
Like the 'free and open access' post I intend to compile a list of blogs in the near future so I will keep your thread in mind and post back here when I do.
As is his book on the Inklings. If you're looking for some of Tolkien's own insights into his writing or theology his letters are also a good place to look.
Several good books on the group. Charles Williams, a very popular Christian writer, was also a member of the group. I enjoyed reading this book about them: https://www.amazon.com/Inklings-Lewis-Tolkien-Their-Friends/dp/0007748698/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475228218&sr=8-2&keywords=the+inklings
I read it in a book about the Inklings, a club of Oxford writers who used to meet up and share their work. Tolkien and Lewis were the most famous members. Here's a link to the book if you're interested.
