For graphic art enthusiasts this book is a must. The reproductions are beautiful, you'd almost see the pencil or the pen of Alan Lee, both made on glossy paper is thin and precise. The texts are exciting and show a little man behind the artist. The millions of readers who imagined Middle Earth thanks to the evocative power of the words of Tolkien will only rejoice to see materialize before them images of people and places that may have long haunted their minds.
