IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:

  • Image might not be accurate: It is fairly likely that the image might be of a different book cover as often publishers reuse the same barcode on multiple covers. Sometimes the AI also takes photos that look like real photos not stock images, but these are not of the book you will receive. This is particularly true of older books, more recently published books are more likely to be the same cover.
  • Item specifics might not be accurate:The description sometimes contains inaccuracies about book edition (such as saying it is a first edition when it might not be), year of publication, etc.
  • This is a secondhand book, check the condition: Please check condition description for which type. Very good means minimal wear and tear. Good means it could be a well read copy with creases, etc. Acceptable might include water damage, writing throughout, multiple big stains etc. Please only buy a condition you would be happy with, for instance if you want a book that might be giftable only very good condition would be ok for this.
  • Please note the book is unlikely to be signed even if the photos or description indicate it is. Do not buy this book on that basis.

Product Overview

A peerless A–Z guide to the names, places and events in the world of J.R.R.
Tolkien, fully illustrated in colour throughout by acclaimed Tolkien artist,
Ted Nasmith.J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy works The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings
and The Silmarillion have delighted millions of readers over the years.Middle-
earth, the world in which the stories take place, is as real and complex as
our own. Events, geography and names were created with care and loving
attention by Tolkien, who wanted every single detail of his books to fit into
their total pattern. A belief in perfection, the fun of the sub-creation and
the desire to create something totally convincing involved him in map-making,
endless charts of dates and events and the development of his many invented
languages.The Complete Guide to Middle-earth was designed to add to the
enjoyment of the reader of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The
Silmarillion by bringing together in an A–Z sequence facts and information
about names, languages, places and events from these central books which will
provide an indispensable aid to every reader’s discovery of Tolkien’s world –
and the new edition has been enhanced by stunning illustrations, courtesy of
celebrated Tolkien artist Ted Nasmith. Read more
