For those on the fence about whether to purchase Tolkien Treasures in addition to Tolkien:Maker of Middle-earth, here's one illustration of why you might want to do so.

I definitely am happy that I bought both - the artwork in Tolkien Treasures is just exquisitely reproduced and as you mention, the detail pages are significantly more detailed that what is in Maker of Middle-earth.

Anyone received copy/copies of Tolkien Treasures yet?

I ordered from SpeedyHen & have had no notice of shipping yet.

Had an email from Book Depository this morning, "Your pre-order has been released by the publisher and is on its way to our warehouse."
