This is the Middle-earth tour guide you've been waiting for. The Maps of Tolkien's Middle-earth is jam packed with tons of information by noted Tolkien expert Brian Sibley and fantabulous illustrations by John Howe. But let's just list all the good stuff so you can see what you're getting (all in a beautiful slipcover):
     The Maps of Tolkien's Middle-earth

  • Map of Middle-earth - a breath-taking panorama of all the realms from Hobbiton to Mordor that feature in The Lord of the Rings.
  • Map of Beleriand - a lyrical portrayal of the ancient landscape of Middle-earth, where the epic battles as told in The Silmarillion were fought.

Measuring 28" x 28", all four maps are loose inside a special folder, ideal for framing or for laying alongside the novels as you read (or re-read) Tolkien's words.
