This is a definite favorite out of the Tolkien related art books that I've perused. I love the contrasting colors and dramatic composition of John Howe's works and that many of the prints in this book are large enough to truly enjoy them. This also contains artwork outside of the Tolkien realm. I was especially excited to that he did paintings for some of Robin Hobb's books, which I am currently reading and loving.

I love beautiful art, and I love fantasy. So, no surprise, I love this book. Howe’s art is quite beautiful and finely detailed (which is not always the case with other fantasy art).
This collection showcases more than his Tolkien art (a formidable portfolio, to be sure)--included are book covers, commissioned pieces, etc. I had no idea how prolific Howe is, and after reading this book I was motivated to track down some of his other collections.
5 stars.
