The illustrations in this book, while not always skillfully drawn, are varied, engaging and stoke the imagination. On top of that you get information about the beasties of Middle Earth. I saw an earlier version of this book when I was a teen and fell in love with many of the drawings. Now that I am older, I find the repetition of design elements in the stylized colored ink drawings somewhat off-putting. If you're a Tolkein fan this book should be in your library.
I received it quickly and I was delighted with the excellent condition of the product. I am a big Lord of the Rings fan and this product has color and black and white illustrations which were lovely and fascinating. I think it should be in the collection of any Tolkien fan. I only recently learned about it and was very happy to find it for a low cost on Ebay.
Expands in great detail upon the creatures and races in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books. Well written and can be read stand alone or as a companion to the series. Many great black and white and color drawings by multiple artists.
