The Maps of Tolkien’s Middle-earth

If you’re a fan of middle earth & John Howe’s work you’ll like this set. The selection of Artwork adorning each map is fantastic. The hardback sleeve & overall design looks great & includes a really nice reference guide & index of names by Brian Sibley. The Númenor map is perhaps a little plain but then again the original isn’t overly detailed. But overall a really high quality piece beautifully designed

These maps are reals masterpieces of draw and art. However, the reader of the manificent Tolkien's Maspterpieces must have these maps in its library, illustrated by John Howe, One of the gifter Tolkien illustrators:-The map Of Beleriand, the West-Stretch of Middle-Earth swallowed up by the Sea at The End Of the First ages;-The Map Of Nùmenor is a real Marvel, splendid, magnificent !-the Map Of the Bilbo's Journey, sixty Years before the war of the Ring, is surrounded by a majestic Red Goden Dragon;finally, -the Map Of Middle earth, at he End of the third Ages of the Sun, during the War Of The Ring, setting "The Lord Of The Rings".

Nicely presented although I would not describe them as 'maps' as such, so perhaps not. Something for the serious collector. But due to the nice packaging I would recommend as a stylish resource for any table-top gamers who like a bit more immersion. Have a good 2016!

Very well produced and a pleasure to look at. The borders are a little larger than I would have liked taking up almost as much space on the posters as the maps themselves. However the maps and artwork are very well done so no complaints overall.

As noted by others this publication is an opportunity wasted. The maps are large and nicely printed but they utterly lack detail. Tolkien's maps as printed in some editions of the books are much better and I certainly expected the authors and publishers to have added something further maybe e.g. by including details of the journeys of the various characters and maybe details on significant encounters.Would suggest prospective buyers to look elsewhere for maps and geographical info on Middle Earth./Rune

Whilst the product was indeed new, it was not without blemishes and I think this ought to have been made clear. My impression is that this is a product which failed a quality inspection and was moved to a 'book renderer'. Having said that the contents are brilliant and any fan of Tolkien will be happy to have it especially for the big map of Beleriand.

I bought this from Amazon warehouse Deals it was a returned item, but you would not have known. The maps are very good quality my 12 year old like me is a big fan of all things to do with Middle Earth, He wants to put them on the wall in his bedroom. I paid less than a tenner for them so im well pleased. They are a good reference when reading the books.

Lovely
