5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference book - a must for Tolkien fans., 26 Sep 2003
By muttmummy (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is a fabulous book!

All the maps are line drawings in simple tones such as black and brick colours - don't expect funky digital maps or a wealth of colours; that, however, does NOT detract from the excellence of this work! In fact - it is a bonus in my view: makes the maps clearer and more precise: it's also a nicer "feel".

I have sat and studied some of these maps for ages - and they really bring to life the travels of Frodo, Bilbo and the Fellowship in great detail. You get info right down to climates of the regions! I was enthrawled for who knows how long on the Moria maps (my favourite Tolkien place!) and it really gave depth to the extent of the journey the Fellowship took.

This is simply a MUST, not just for staunch Tolkien fans but as a trusty companion to the LOTR books for any reader (along with a Tolkien dictionary/encyclopedia).

You will be so glad you invested in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars precious, 18 Oct 2005
Beautifull illustrated maps, with interesting comments and notes. Things you hadn't even thought about are in it, climate in middle-earth, a map from menegroth, moria, ..., an endless list of beautifull, unseen maps. Only downside I think is the colors of the maps. There isn't much color, and this gives it an authentic touch, very nice. But sometimes you can't clearly see what is meant with what arrow since the means of making different arrows are limited. But everything else makes it definitly worth to be bought. The Climate of middle earth, rock types, average speed of the fellowship per day, ...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cartographic Companion to Middle Earth, 18 Dec 2003
By A Customer
Frankly indispensable to any true lover of Tolkien. I would not be without this book. It can be used as a companion when reading Tolkien or as something to dip into whenever you feel like a dose of Middle Earth.
