Fascinating, gorgeously illustrated and thought-provoking. . . . A] masterful book.--Elizabeth Hand, Washington Post

A lavishly illustrated look at the locales familiar to J. R. R. Tolkien, the creator of Middle-earth

This book takes you to the places that inspired J. R. R. Tolkien to create his fictional locations in The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and other classic works. Written by renowned Tolkien expert John Garth, The Worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien features a wealth of breathtaking illustrations, including Tolkien's own drawings, contributions from other artists, rare archival images, and spectacular color photos of contemporary locations across Britain and beyond, from the battlefields of World War I to Africa.

Garth identifies the locales that served as the basis for Hobbiton, the elven valley of Rivendell, the Glittering Caves of Helm's Deep, and many other settings in Middle-earth, from mountains and forests to rivers, lakes, and shorelands. He reveals the rich interplay between Tolkien's personal travels, his wide reading, and his deep scholarship as an Oxford don. Garth draws on his profound knowledge of Tolkien's life and work to shed light on the extraordinary processes of invention behind Tolkien's works of fantasy. He also debunks popular misconceptions about the inspirations for Middle-earth and puts forward strong new claims of his own.

An illustrated journey into the life and imagination of one of the world's best-loved authors, The Worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien provides a unique exploration of the relationship between the real and the fantastical and is an essential companion for anyone who wants to follow in Tolkien's footsteps.

Excellent Investment!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I have had this printer for two years now. I purchased it to do invitations and signs for my Daughter's baby shower. I designed an invitation, printed more than sixty copies with address labels, return address labels, numerous signs, games and raffles tickets. I used it again for the Baby's 1st Birthday same amount of items. I have not had to fill the colored ink in over 2 years. I have filled the black. My husband also uses it for work and I've printed several other projects including pictures. Everything has always exceeded my expectations. For the price you get excellent quality. I find the software easy to use and update.

Mouse Pad was as described
Number of Items: 11
Sublimated perfectly. Make sure to use lint roller prior to sublimating as the material had lint and little particles that you don't want on your print.

Best sublimation mousepads I have tried
Number of Items: 11
I have tried a few different brands of mousepads, but have found these to be the best quality. They are thicker and sturdier than ones I have previously ordered. They were easy to sublimate on and held the color well. As others have noted, they come individually wrapped in resealable plastic bags which is really nice if you plan to gift them or sell them. I will be sticking with this brand as the quality is superior to other brands I have used.

Vibrant results
Number of Items: 11
These mouse pads give vibrant results for your sublimation, I would recommend that you take a lighter and gently go around the edges to keep them from fraying over time
