Giving readers a more comprehensive understanding of J.R.R. Tolkien’s vision through these numerous drawings, as small and poorly-refined as they could sometimes be, despite not being initially conceived for publication anyway, this book remains an intricate and insightful collector’s item that fans of his work will inevitably want to discover. Even more fascinating is how he created his inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, serving as further evidence of his infinite creativity in that domain. Nevertheless, while not a quintessential read that adds to his legendarium, this art book does plenty in opening to readers new doors of appreciation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work and imagination.

This book is great for LOTR fans (specifically of the books, I don't think fans of the movies alone would get a lot from it), but may be of minor interest only if you don't appreciate the LOTR. Calling this artwork is misleading, because much of it clearly wasn't intended to be artwork and was closer to sketches (often very rough sketches) to help Tolkien visualize what he was writing. I still think the book is very good, but people should look up a few of the pictures from the book online before buying it so they know what they are getting.The Fisherman & His Wife, transl. from Brothers Grimm (Mankato, Minnesota: Creative Education, 1983).

There were occasionally pictures included that I didn't think were worthy of inclusion, such as one where it was the first time Tolkien had drawn a certain mountain, but it was a tiny little sketch that had like two lines drawn. It'd be something a three year old would draw if you said draw a mountain.
