The Lord of the Rings: The Art of the Fellowship of the Ring by Gary Russell
4.0
I read this book and finished it actually quite a while ago and it was an invaluable resource for writing parts of my dissertation. Besides that it's also genuinely a really wonderful read with reference to all sorts of excellent concept art, costume design and quotes from all areas of the team who worked on the Lord of the Rings films. I have to say I am very happy that I own the next one in this series too because it's very through and a really beautiful book to read thorough and discover so much about the process behind the film.
I definitely loved the way that the chapters were divided up as it made it easy to find pages relevant to areas such as props, races, particular character etc and I thought that the way it was all tied together with images, screen-grabs, paintings and other essential elements really showed the story of exactly how these films were made and how much work and consideration went into every detail. Overall a solid 4*s :)
