A Middle-earth Traveller: Sketches from Bag End to Mordor Hardcover – Illustrated, 4 Oct. 2018

A beautiful book with exquisite pencil sketches by a true master.Can be bought at a bargain price, what can be better.

Great quality book and amazing art work from the movies..

What a beautiful book. I would definitely recommend this book to any Tolkien fan or any fan of The Lord of the Rings books or movies. The illustrations are fantastic and the information is excellent adding to what you may already know about the franchise. I thoroughly enjoyed flicking through this book and it is one I will keep on the bookshelf for years to come.

Every sketch to every detail this book was impressive.

As Expected

This book gives an interesting visual overview to Tolkien's imaginary world as seen through the beautiful art of John Howe. It's riddled with fascinating details, but only touches briefly on each subject, which often leaves you wanting more. Each section comes with a short summary of the subject, but lacks explanation for Howe's interpretation, although I'll admit this inspired me to think more about it and draw my own. So, overall it's a lovely book, but you're probably not going to learn much from it.

What a beautiful book! Presented as a walking tour book, John Howe's stunning pencil drawings and paintings fill every page. You can imagine that Mr Howe was actually there, in Middle Earth, and spent several months sketching everything he saw (I suppose in one way he did do just that!). Through his eyes we see everything, from drawings of "a modest Hobbit dwelling" to majestic Taniquetil. Some images are familiar from the Jackson movies but some are not, for example Belegost and Nogrod. This book is a must for every Tolkien fan's bookshelf. It would make an ideal Christmas present for any Tolkien loving relative (or yourself!).BTW does anyone else think that the picture of Tom Bombadil on page 42 looks a little like Peter Jackson?

I bought the Alan Lee sketchbook, this is similar. I love it, beautiful drawings, beautifully presented. These guys are the masters.
