The release of a live-action feature film of the first leg of the Lord of the Rings trilogy next Christmas day is already generating a huge buzz. Plan ahead for what will most likely be a big rush on Tolkien by stocking up on volumes such as this heavily illustrated 1978 celebration of the author, which contains a large biographical section, original works by other authors inspired by Tolkien, essays, and bibliographical data. At this price, buy a few.
