I'd like to think that sams' final line "well, I'm back" will be in it. I also wonder if PJ will elaborate on the appendices a bit and tell of Sam becoming the Mayor and all that happened to the...

I wonder if P.J. was under pressure from the merchandising section of new line, hence the Warg riders. I actually questioned my own memory of the book when I left the cinema and had to refer back....

I've zoomed in to x16 on my tv and there is no Gollum. Are you the same person who said there was a car in the distance?

I couldn't stand the original "council of elrond" and "lothlorien" sections anyway so the extended versions of these two scenes I find intolerable and skip past them.<BR>Having watched the film a...

Pipe Does anyone else like the cartoon?

I saw it when I was about 12 years old on telly and loved it. It was my introduction to Tolkiens work and I probably wouldn't have bought the book if it wasn't for the cartoon. <BR>I know in...

Sting Spoiler in his own book!

When I last read TTT a couple of months ago I noticed a bit of a spoiler in the chapter 'The Uruk Hai'. It describes the part where Merry drinks the Orc draught and it washes the pain away from the...

I posted a similar question on TORC and was recommended "The Atlas of Tolkiens Middle Earth" by Karen Wynn Fonstad, and I have to say it is utterly wonderful and exactly what you are looking for.
