5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Tolkein lovers!, 6 Sep 2010

This review is from: Tolkien Bestiary (Hardcover)
I bought this book many years ago when I loved anything from Tolkein/Lord of The Rings (still do actually but that's another story!) and I thought it was great. At the time there was no real internet etc imagery and discussion about LOTR and it helped a) to visualise a lot of the areas and things mentioned in the book and b) allowed me to read more about this great world that I had been able to explore via Tolkein's genius mind and books. Recommended to anyone who is a fan of the books.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... Except the map, 19 Nov 2007
This review is from: Tolkien Bestiary (Hardcover)
I agree with the previous reviewer with nearly all he says. Except for the composite map. It is utter tosh. For starters, Beleriand is far too large and far further north than the various Tolkien texts describe. Nearly everything about the relative position of lands and places is wrong. For a much better illustration of the geography of Arda, see Karen Wynn Fonstad's 'Atlas of Middle-Earth'. Apart from that, yeah, very good book. BTW. Avoid the same author's later 'Illustrated Encyclopedia'. Covers similar territory to this tome (thankfully without the map!), but with all the decent illustrations removed and replaced with images that could be bettered by a 10 year old!

5.0 out of 5 stars tolkein bestiary, 13 Jun 2011
This review is from: Tolkien Bestiary (Hardcover)
Quite simply essential for those who have enjoyed the tales of Middle Earth, whether the Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, or the Silmarillion.

Otherwise for everyone else, just a fabulous & beautifully illusrated book!
