A closer look at the Anduin Vale and Mirkwood, roughly two thirds of the area initially covered by the One Ring RPG.
There's a lot of good background detail and adventure hooks here. Not a lot of crunch, but there is a bestiary, a couple of new sanctuaries, and a number of location specific undertakings for the fellowship phase.
The book is largely meant to be a companion to the Darkening of Mirkwood, but as I've not yet read that book I can't evaluate it in that context. On it's own it's a useful addition to the information contained in the core rules.
Edit: Now that I've read The Darkening of Mirkwood, I can add that this does a good job of describing the state of the region as it exists at the beginning of that campaign.

A little same-y all the way through, but there’s only so much you can do with Tolkien. I liked the plot threads and diversity, though a bit more than the Chariot people would have been appreciated.
