The Illustrated Encyclopaedia

Visual guide to Tolkien's timeless mythology.

If you're a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's expansive universe, this illustrated encyclopaedia is a treasure trove that brings Middle-earth and its many characters, creatures, and places to life with rich artwork. It's an immersive deep-dive that complements the reading experience, ideal for both newcomers desiring a vivid introduction and long-time fans looking to revisit the beloved world with a new perspective.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.
