One does not simply walk into Mordor-mart.

One must first trek from the farthest reaches of the parking-lot, and fight one's way through hordes of orcs - er, customers, and find one's way to "Books & Magazines" without a Map... Only for The Precious would I enter that store! The publishers did an outstanding job putting this together. It's going to take me a while to delve into it! But let me give you some highlights of my first impressions. Top three geekiest items: - Donato Giancola's painting of the middle-age Tolkien at his desk. - The Map of the TORn Message-Boards in the middle of the Daniel Reeve article. (And the picture of him is awesome.) - Map of Middle-earth, done in cross-stitch, by... Rosie-with-the-Ribbons! Oh, gramma, wait 'til you see how they've done up your time-line! (I've never seen that pic of the Party with a rainbow over it...) Lots of photos of the actors and the characters - and it looks like they've tried to give every one of the named characters a paragraph of their own. Background of getting The Hobbit going; interviews with Andy Serkis, Richard Taylor (yes, they did mix up Mr. Cere's surname in the credit), stills from the apps, 3D discussion, movie discussions, Tolkien estate (this one is credited to Tehanu), animations, elves and dwarves and Councils oh my, New Zealand, collectibles, games, awesome fan stuff...I'm trying to not use "awesome" too often! And ending with a Map of the Hobbit journey, and that geeky (yes!) ad for the hangover med! This is a delight! Thank you, whoever thought of creating this, and all those creative folks who had a hand in it!
