A sumptuous full-colour art book containing the complete collection of almost 200 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps created by J.R.R. Tolkien for The Lord of the Rings.As he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R.

In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth, while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and ¿facsimile¿ leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support Tolkien¿s pose as an ¿editor¿ or ¿translator¿ of ancient records.The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien collects these
