This is the first edition of the book in a limited edition hardcover with a gold foil-stamped slipcase cover. Limited to 1,000 copies, all signed and numbered by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt prior to Tim's death in 2006. This fabulous art book has all of the Hildebrandt's Tolkien art from their three calendars published in 1976, 1977 and 1978. It has all of their Tolkien finished sketches, concept sketches and rough sketches that have survived the decades since the first calendar was published. This includes dozens of photos of their posing sessions in the seventies, so you can see the magic happen from beginning to end! The fun-filled wonderful text is written by Greg Hildebrandt, Junior. It is seen through his eyes as a child remembering back to 5, 6 and 7 years old when he posed for all the Hobbits in his Dad's and Uncle Tim's calendar art. There are dozens of quotes from Greg and Tim. Some are funny and some are technical. All are worth reading.

From the Author:
My brother Tim and I waited a long time for the right publisher to print all of our Tolkien artwork in an art book. We couldn't be more pleased with the overall look of the book and the time and care that Watson Guptill gave to this product. We both hope that our fans enjoy owning this book as much as we enjoyed creating it.
About the Author:
Having m son, Gregory, write the text was a wonderful experience. I never really looked at Tolkien through his eyes. When you look through the eyes of a child you see way past what you can ever imagine.
He gave me a new way to see Tolkien and hopefully a new way for all of our fans, new and old, to see our art.
Greg Hildebrandt
Gregory Hildebrandt, Jr. is a screenwriter and novelist. He has contributed stories to Frank Frazetta's Fantasy Illustrated magazine. He is the son of Greg Hildebrandt and the nephew of Tim Hildebrandt.
