The maps of Tolkien's Middle-earth Book

This is a gorgeous bit of work: a slipcase with a hardcover book of information on the making of the maps and what they depict, and a book-cover type folder which contains the four maps, folded up but completely separate (so if you wanted to frame and mount them, that'd be possible). It's a beautiful collection, and the book itself is gorgeous too. The type-set is the same as most copies of The Hobbit I've seen, which I liked, and the layout too. Various illustrations ' sketches and full colour ' are included, with Brian Sibley describing the events and locations on each of the four maps.

It's not hugely informative if you're familiar with the geography and history of Middle-earth, but looking at things laid out like this can be different, and it's a gorgeous collection, too.
