Read the fine print.

The advert says Tolkien’s World by Tolkien. I was looking for Tolkien’s illustrations. The paintings are not Tolkien’s.

Very good

"Tolkien's World" is a very handsome book: large, hardcover, sleeve-cover, fine print and paper. It consists on a serie of paintings divided by books (The Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, etc.) printed in the largest scale possible and with great definition. Beside the picture there is the passage of the book which inspired the painting. In the end there are one-page texts about or written by each of the artists, explaining their influences and relation with Tolkien works. My favorite artist is, without a doubt, Ted Nasmith, that draws very realistic pictures. Second place is John Howe, with his dark and intriguin style. All in all, a pretty nice book. I was very satisfied with it and it helped me to figure the places and events of LOTR. Be aware that there's a book that is kind of a sequel to this one: "Realms of Tolkien: Images of Middle-Earth", which I'm planning to get. It is written on its purchasing info that the author is Ted Nasmith, so is the cover authory. Lucky me.

Wonderful, put the finishing touch to the Triology

I have read all of the books written by either Tolkien, JRR or Christopher, and think they are the best!!!

Great.

This book is simply wonderful. The paintings are so inspiring, so wonderfully detailed and artistic (except for Cor Blok, but he makes up for that in style), and it's great to see what other people think of Tolkien's world and imagination.

A Wonderful Collection of Middle-Earth Art

The art contained within this book is well worth the price. One of it's many strong points is that it really seems to make an effort to include something for everyone. The quoted text on the facing pages is nice as well. A great addition to any Middle-Earth collection.

Realms of Tolkien : a very good book

This book puts together a most of the important paintings on Tolkien's world by artist's like Alan Lee or John Howe. The quality of the reproductions is quite high and the cover is very beautyful. For all Tolkien and fine art lovers.
