The Maps of Tolkien's Middle-Earth with Mapby Brian Sibley
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Best-selling Tolkien expert Brian Sibley (The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy and The Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide) presents a slipcased collection of four full-color, large-format maps of Tolkien's imaginary realm illustrated by John Howe, a conceptual designer for the blockbuster films directed by Peter Jackson. The set includes a hardcover book describing in detail the importance and evolution of geography within Tolkien's epic fiction and four color maps presented with minimal folds, including two (Beleriand and Númenor) never before published in this country. Book News Annotation:This boxed collection includes four painted 28 by 28 inch color maps
by renowned Tolkien artist John Howe, and an illustrated hardcover
book by Sibley explaining the importance and evolution of geography
in Tolkien's work. Although the set was first printed in 1994, the
maps of Beleriand and N<'u>menor have never before been published in
the U.S. The set also includes maps of Wilderland, and Middle-Earth.
The maps are loose inside a hard-bound folder, and can be removed for
display or framing. Sibley's text offers insight into the specific
role of each place name in the stories, and background on how the
maps came into being. Sibley is the author of several books on
Tolkien's work.
