At this time I do not think I need to go on about "The Lord of the Rings" being the best fantasy epic ever written. Anyone who enjoys reading about a different world will enjoy thesis tales of brave deeds done in Middle-Earth. Instead I'm going to say if you're going That to purchase this book, I recommend the one I did. I bought the Hardcover Version with illustrations done by Alan Lee. I think everyone shoulds Consider this one. I know we're not babies anymore Who need pictures que la purpose I found my pictures Greatly Increased Ability to imagine this facinating land. Sometimes you can not get the full picture of Minas Tirith in your head just by words and Alan Lee Kept my mind always more amazed.
