Treasures from the Misty Mountains - A Collector's Guide to Tolkien
For more than 60 years the published works of J.R.R. Tolkien have delighted readers of all ages. It was in 1937 that The Hobbit first captured our hearts and stirred our imaginations. In 1955 followed the grand epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has been called the most influential fantasy story of all time. The Lord of the Rings has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 40 languages, an accomplishment that no other work of fiction comes close to matching.
In addition to the books, there has been a staggering array of products produced related to and influenced by the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and his richly imagined world of Middle-Earth. Treasures from the Misty Mountains details for you the endless collection of Tolkien-related products in addition to an accounting of all of Tolkien's writings.
Included herein are sections devoted to Books, both by and about Tolkien; Calendars; Toys; Collectible statues; Audio recordings; and so much more. Also presented are details of the movies - both the earlier animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy from New Line Cinema.
This is a book of all things Tolkien, a feast for devoted fans and novices alike, with more than 500 colour pictures. Treasures from the Misty Mountains - A Collector's Guide to Tolkien.
From the Publisher
It has been very difficult over the years for collectors to know just what has been produced from the works of Tolkien and where it can be purchased. There is not, and never has been any 'official' Lord of the Rings cataloging. Clear and specific documentation has been almost impossible to find, and any listing that has been available has been a patchwork at best. Over the last few years, the Internet has become a great source of assistance through various webrings that connect the many Lord of the Rings fans. This four color, highly graphic book will provide information on all things Tolkien; books, calendars, toys & movie memorabilia. Both the novice and die-hard collector will find this guide helpful and like the new trilogy from Peter Jackson, make us believe again. 208 Pages
