(Hardcover - March 1988)Atlas of Middle-Earth
by Karen Wynn Fonstad
The publishing world is full of Tolkien spinoff products, some trivial and ephemeral--but some, like this thoroughly researched atlas, are genuinely classy. Karen Wynn Fonstad is a qualified geographer and cartographer who first mapped Middle-Earth in 1981 and has since added much new detail based on those endless volumes of drafts, abandoned passages, alternative versions, and laundry lists published since Tolkien's death. She fills in gaps and details in the familiar Third Age maps from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, goes back in time to map Middle-Earth's First and Second Ages, and reconstructs the route and timescale of every important journey in the stories. There are local maps of key places like the Mines of Moria, Lothlorien, Isengard, Minas Tirth, the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and the volcanic Mount Doom. War maps cover the saga's notable battles, up to the hopeless last stand at Mordor gate and the tiny later skirmish known in Shire records as the Battle of Bywater. Thematic maps show Middle-Earth's distribution of climate, geological features, vegetation, people, and (most importantly to Tolkien) languages.... It's all done tremendously seriously and would make a fine gift for enthusiastic Tolkien fans, except that they'll have bought it already. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk

by Jane Chance
J.R.R. Tolkien’s zeal for medieval literary, religious, and cultural ideas deeply influenced his entire life and provided the seeds for his own fiction. In Tolkien’s Art, Chance discusses not only such classics as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, but focuses on his minor works as well, outlining in detail the sources and influences–from pagan epic to Christian legend-that formed the foundation of Tolkien’s masterpieces...

Editor's Note: When first I heard of the movie and all the hype associated with it I was less than impressed, and did not believe that any filmmaker could do justice to Tolkien's masterpiece. I assumed that the film would do just as well at the box office as any other big budget flick with a massive advertising campaign and myriad special effects. In short, I was an unbeliever. That changed about 30 minutes into the epic, and I am now of the opinion that this extraordinary tour de force will join the ranks of the great classics of the cinema. Db, August 2002 2010: Guillermo del Toro, Spanish director of Pan's Labyrinth, will join Peter Jackson and Spielberg to do The Hobbit.
