there are three books that are published separately: the fellowship of the ring, the two towers and the return of the king, but within each one is two "books." the fellowship is "books" 1 and 2 and the two towers starts with "book" 3. in each book are also chapters and stuff. there is also the hobbit which is part of the same history surrounding the ring, but not part of the lord of the rings
It is not specified in either The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion how long it took to forge the 20 Rings of Power.

The quest itself (=from Frodo setting out to the Ring's destruction) took six months. Another seven months passed until the hobbits again came home to the Shire.Dates: Frodo sets out from Hobbiton on 23rd September 3018 of the Third Age. Frodo leaves the Fellowship on 26th February 3019. The One Ring is destroyed on 25th March 3019. The hobbits reach Bag End on the 3rd November 3019. Additional note: As can be seen with the above dates, 5 of the quest's 6 months are covered in the LotR's first volume (The Fellowship of the Ring); most of that time is spent resting in Rivendell and Lothlórien. All the events of the volumes The Two Towers and The Return of the King from Frodo leaving the Fellowship to the Ring's destruction take place in just about one month.
The Hobbit is set about 60 years before most of the events in The Lord of the Rings.The Hobbit was published in 1937. The Lord of the Rings did not come out for over 20 years after that. It took Tolkien a long time to write the follow up.
The innkeeper of the Prancing Pony in Bree is Barliman Butterbur, latest in a long line of Butterbur innkeepers.

It is not specified in either The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion how long it took to forge the 20 Rings of Power.
How long it takes a bell to ring 11 times depends on how long each ring is and the time in between the rings. For example, if the length of the ring is 10 seconds and there are 2 seconds between the rings, it would take less time than if the rings were 15 seconds with 3 seconds between rings.

Three rings for Elven kings under the sky;Seven for Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone;Nine for mortal men, doomed to die;One for the dark lord on his dark throne.In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them.One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.So in total there are 20 Rings of Power!At the time of the Lord of the Rings, the elves still have their three rings and keep them in hiding (Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel bear them), the dwarf rings were all long ago destroyed by dragon fire, the rings for men are still held by the nine men that Sauron originally gave them to and they have been fully corrupted by their rings becoming the nazgul, and the one ring is in the possession of the hobbits (Bilbo, Frodo, and Samwise in succession).So at the actual time of the Lord of the Rings story only 13 Rings of Power still exist.There are 20. Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.However at the time of the story itself only 13 remain, as the seven dwarf rings had long before been destroyed by dragon fire.
