Book Reviews of Tolkien's World : Paintings of Middle-Earth
Book Review: Good format and nice pictures by various artists.
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the format of this book as well as the artwork. It has approx. 60 paintings by various artists, some of which are more well known then others. I don't think you can beat John Howe, who has a number of paintings included. However you may have seen most of his pictures elsewhere. The other lesser known paintings are more interesting as I had not seen them before. Some of the art is more stylised, such as Roger Garland and Inger Edelfeldt, which may or may not appeal to your taste. But there are no awful paintings, and on the whole a nice collection of Middle Earth pictures. The format of the book is great, with the pictures ordered in sequence following the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings stories, with various others at the end. Each painting is accompanied by an extract from the book, which for me really added to the experience. And in a disjointed fashion you could follow through the Hobbit and Lord of The Rings stories in the pictures. For the price a nice book for anyone interested in Tolkien artwork.
