About this product

The Making of Middle-earth: The Worlds of Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings by Christopher A. Snyder is a comprehensive exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien's creative influences and the development of Middle-earth.

It features rich illustrations, photographs, and artwork, connecting his writings to modern fantasy culture, including publishing, gaming, music, and film. The 2022 edition includes new material on recent books, movies, and shows, presented in a visually striking format with a foil-stamped faux cloth cover.
