So what did Amazon buy? "We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit," Payne says. "And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books." That takes a huge chunk of lore off the table and has left Tolkien fans wondering how this duo plans to tell a Second Age story without access to those materials.

Awesome.
Only missing 2 volumes of The The History of Middle-earth, those being:
Volume 3: The Lays Of Beleriand and
Volume 4: The Shaping Of Middle-Earth

Now it appears to be th Hobbit
The Amazon show is set in the second age. The Silmarillion (story) ends with the 1st age. There are two stories in the Silmarillion (book) that are in the second age. They are about the fall of Nuemenor and the rings of power. It will give you more of a history of the world than act as source material for the show. Still very much worthwhile.
