Reviews
The publishing world is full of Tolkien spinoff products, some trivial and ephemeral--but some, like this thoroughly researched atlas, are genuinely classy. Karen Wynn Fonstad is a qualified geographer and cartographer who first mapped Middle-Earth in 1981 and has since added much new detail based on those endless volumes of drafts, abandoned passages, alternative versions, and laundry lists published since Tolkien's death. She fills in gaps and details in the familiar Third Age maps from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings , goes back in time to map Middle-Earth's First and Second Ages, and reconstructs the route and timescale of every important journey in the stories. There are local maps of key places like the Mines of Moria, Lothlorien, Isengard, Minas Tirth, the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and the volcanic Mount Doom. War maps cover the saga's notable battles, up to the hopeless last stand at Mordor gate and the tiny later skirmish known in Shire records as the Battle of Bywater. Thematic maps show Middle-Earth's distribution of climate, geological features, vegetation, people, and (most importantly to Tolkien) languages.... It's all done tremendously seriously and would make a fine gift for enthusiastic Tolkien fans, except that they'll have bought it already. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk -, Tolkien loved maps and geography played a great importance in his books. In the paperback revision of a hardcover that is out of print, cartographer Fonstad here details that aspect of these stories. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.

    Maps For Map Lovers, Made By Map Lovers

    If you love maps like Mr. Bilbo loved maps, this is the atlas for you! Karen Wynn Fonstad also loves maps. If you are lukewarm about maps, but still love Tolkien's Middle Earth, this is also good!

    Superb Atlas for Middle Earth

    This is an extremely valuable addition to the ring trilogy. It is very detailed, going into ages before middle earth, Bilbo's travels, and the Trilogy itself. Reading the Trilogy, as well as The Hobbit, is so much more enjoyable with this addition.

    Beautiful and Comprehensive

    These maps and diagrams are really well executed and illustrated, and they are all-inclusive of locations, scenes, journeys, battles, etc. This is a great reference.
