The Lord of the Rings omnibus for all. Who wrote The Lord of the Rings? What details are in the movies, books, maps, and other stories—and how do they tie together?

Marchese and Alan Sisto, Why We Love Middle-earth: Stepping into the Road is the ultimate guide to the fandom. Newcomers and existing fans of Tolkien will revel in the dragon’s hoard of information inside.
Inside, find:
An easy-to-digest guide that deepens your knowledge from start to finish, or from any interest point
A brief history of each of the major books and adaptations of Middle-earth, and how to read, watch, or play them, and deepen your understanding of them
A manual for fandom niches—what they are, where to find them, and how to get started
If you enjoy fandom books or a good book about Tolkien’s works such as Atlas Of Middle-Earth, Recipes from the World of Tolkien, or Why We Love Star Wars, you’ll love Why We Love Middle-earth: Stepping into the Road.
There are a lot of issues (including this one) on the mock-up cover. The authors did not contribute to the cover or the marketing blurb, and are working with the publisher to make a lot of improvements. ?
It was mentioned at the PPP Moot this weekend that the artist Emily Austin (https://emilyaustindesign.com/) has been commissioned by Shawn and Alan to create a new cover, and provide interior illustrations as well. I'm looking forward to seeing more when it is available!
"It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."
