Review
“With its maps, directions, visitor information and exclusive stills of the locatuibs as they apper in reality, this was obviously a labour of love for the author, who has bent over backwards to make this the definitive Rings guide…it’s easy to se why this was voted New Zealand Book of the Year!”

Product Description
Since the first screening of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" in 2001, New Zealand has become the embodiment of "Middle-earth" to millions of moviegoers the world over. This definitive guidebook showcases the principal movie-set locations around New Zealand as seen in all three films. Ian Brodie's guide enables fans of Peter Jackson's cinematic masterpiece to experience their own unique insight into the magic and complexity of Middle-earth. Produced with the full cooperation of New Line Productions, Inc., he presents a comprehensive review of the movie locations, useful touring information including accommodation, food and entertainment suggestions, interviews with key cast and crew, and a foreword written by Peter Jackson.

Format:Paperback
My family and I used this book extensively whilst on holiday in New Zealand and my two sons were able to re-enact all their favourite fight scenes in the spot where they were filmed! There is a good amount of detail and "inside information" about the Peter Jackson films to help you to track down the locations used. This book is an indispensable guide for those visiting NZ (a great country over and above the link with the Lord of the Rings films) who are Lord of the Rings fans but I don't think it would be of interest if you were not visiting the country as the main information is about how to find the sites used.

Format:Paperback
If you're going to New Zealand and you are a "Lord of the Rings" fan, then this book is a must. Slim enough to slip into the baggage without disturbing the scales, it is a detailed guide to the places where the films were shot. Detailed descriptions of routes, paths and unmade roads will get you to the places you recognise. You could spend months touring the country just seeking out locations - or just visit some of the places mentioned when you happen to be nearby. Also, the articles from some of the people involved in choosing the locations are interesting.
If you are not going to NZ, then the book is probably only worth buying if you are a hardcore "Lord of the Rings" anorak. The magnificent scenery doesn't really come across in the small format photos - much better to go and take your own pictures!

I'm about to head to New Zealand. I'm also a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings films and I'm very keen to visit some of the beautiful locations used. This guidebook is fantastic: it gives you travel / transport tips and tells you exactly what to be looking for. I can't wait for the trip and I am positive that with this guidebook, I'll be able to see many of the locations used in a remarkable trilogy.
The only reason this is not 5 stars is because I bought a second hand copy so it was a bit weathered.

Beware of this book!
I bought this book whilst I was in New Zealand and hoped to 'step in the footsteps of hobbits' so to speak. Well, this book is quite misleading. Read more
