Today, I was down in Jacksonville at the outdoor mall, Jen had some gift cards from her birthday and wanted to do some shopping. We stopped by the Barnes and Noble there and I ran across a new hardcover book that was specifically published as a collection of Tolkien's original artwork. The majority of the works are found in the prior book that Jen bought be for a birthday gift a couple years ago, Tolkien: Maker of Middle-Earth, but this one is strictly artwork selected by Christopher Tolkien to be published, with notes and relevant information concerning each piece.

It makes a fine addition to my bookshelf and Tolkien collection. Below are pics of the slipcase, book, and a few pages from within.

“He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams.” - Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien

Hmmm, it looks like a reprint of the 1979 original UK edition: https://www.amazon.com/Pictures-J-R-R-T ... 395285232/
