Here is a sumptuous full-colour art book containing the complete collection of almost 200 sketches, drawings, paintings, and maps created by J.R.R. Tolkien for 'The Lord of the Rings'. As he wrote 'The Lord of the Rings', J.R.R. Tolkien's mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations. Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent. Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of creation, illuminating Tolkien's process of writing and design.
