Synopsis

In The People's Guide to JRR Tolkien, the first guide written by the people for the people -- that is, the people who love Middle-earth -- the authors from the #1 Tolkien fan website looked at a variety of big themes surrounding the fictional worlds Tolkien created. What made this book different is that the fans, not the scholars, were defining the issues and offering a fresh and unique perspective not seen before in print.

With More People's Guide to JRR Tolkien, the indispensable companion volume that fans have been asking for has arrived. So what's new in this book that was not in the first one?

-the third and final New Line movie is reviewed and the films as a whole are put into perspective;

-new articles on director Peter Jackson and the making of the movies;

-the future of Tolkieniana -- the world of Tolkien studies and fan interest -- is considered;

-the best of the site's Hall of Fire chats are here, showing more interaction from the fans who routinely visit the TheOneRing.net;

-book reviews: an entire section commenting on the huge array of new (and old) Tolkien books that are now in print is presented;

-all new Questions & Answers, arguably the most popular part of the theonering.net, including questions about the New Line movies.
