Summary: The only "behind the scenes" LOTR film books worth buying
Comment: I love all things LOTR film(s) related. I am very interested in the aspect of costume design, and I enjoy creating my versions of costumes from the LOTR movies, especially those worn by Arwen the Elf. I have purchased "The LOTR Visual Companion", "The Art of LOTR FOTR", and "The LOTR FOTR Photo Guide" books from Amazon.com, and I have to say that the "Art Of" books are the most thorough and worth the money of the lot. So, my advise to anyone like myself who is into costume re-creation: get yourself the special edition extended DVD set, plus the "Art Of" books. They seem to have the best information out there. The rest, just collectable items with pictures and "fluff". I was dissapointed to find not a bit of information about Arragorn, or Legolas in this second edition ?? =0O
There are nice drawings on Faramir, King Theoden, Eowyn, Grima Wormtongue, even a bit on the costume of Gandalf the White. Maybe it's because the two were covered quite allot in the first edition? I was just dissapointed in that, read right through it and said to myself, hey wait a minute! Where's Arragorn!? Where's Legolas?! No Gimli?! Not even an Elrond.. Arwen's costumes are featured on two pages, and the book even features her armour and quiver that never got into the film. This was pretty cool, that and the information about Gollum was very nice. All in all, you won't regret buying the art of books.

Summary: A look at the design of the Two Towers
Comment: This book shows lots of pretty pictures of drawings of monsters, environments, clothing, buildings and other stuff. You can see some ideas of how some designs developed into what you saw in the LOTR movie 'The two towers'.
The book is lavishly illustrated of course, and there are some short explanations or other explanations on the pictures you see in the book. Lots of the drawings look great, and you can also see some WETA clay models of certain scenes in the movies.
In short it's a must-have for real fans of the Lord of the Rings,
it's got everything you'd expect it would have, but somehow the previous part of the 'art of'- series looks better. I'm talking about 'the Art of the Fellowship of the Ring'.
I think it has to do something with the fact that the Two Towers movie was much darker and less colorful than the Fellowship of the Ring, this somehow reflects in this book.
This art book is a good buy, especially if you liked the movie, it will be a nice additon to your collection.

Summary: Buy this book or die trying!
Comment: This book is a action pact, drama filled, and a adventures book
that when you start reading it you get caught in it and when you finish the book you start bagging for more.
So you should go get this book right now, and take my advise and order it one you get done reading it.
