Maps of Middle Earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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.
It contains hundreds of maps from the first age to the fourth, as well as descriptions of climate, population concentration and vegetation. It even has a cut away map of Bag End and The Prancing Pony!
I also own 'The Journeys Of Frodo' but obviosly this only deals wth stuff from LOTR, however it is a very nicely presented companion book.
I think I paid about twelve pounds from Amazon for it as I couldn't find it in any bookshops, but it's worth every penny.
Hope this has been of some help.
