Tolkien: Treasures sheds light on the extraordinary genius and imagination that brought us Middle-earth, with all its Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Ringwraiths, Wizards, and, of course, Hobbits.

Recenzii

"Probably the finest reproduction of Tolkien's art (and maps), published to date. The true glory of this book is the illustrations, all of which seem to be in true colour, often accompanied by enlarged details . . .Tolkien: Treasures is definitely worth purchasing."
