I wrote about The Art of the Hobbit and the one-volume History of the Hobbit yesterday: Two new Hobbit books(didn't see this thread until today). |

I got my copy, and the book is really, really great. Of course, Tolkien’s The Hobbit art has long been an especial favorite of mine. My wife and I have long planned that, when we have a baby, its room will be decorated with this art. The new book definitely has some stuff I haven’t seen before, but most of it I have. BUT the quality of the scans is way better than I have ever seen. The analysis is great, and having everything side-by-side in one book is really cool. Tolkien didn’t consider himself a great artist, but he could have fooled me. He was quite a remarkable gentleman!

Did you order the Art of the Hobbit from the UK?
