COMPLETE GUIDE TO TOLKIEN'S MIDDLE EARTH ~ DELUXE ED Nasmith Illus

Description: SHIPPING IN COVID TIMES: Please note that at this time, the post office is VERY VERY slow and if you need this by a specific time, you'll need to select Priority Mail or it may take a couple weeks or longer to get there. I know it's more expensive, but it's the only way to insure a quick delivery... NO RISK PURCHASE! See Below** THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO MIDDLE-EARTH The Definitive Guide to the World of J.R.R. Tolkien An A-Z guide to the names and events in the fantasy world of Middle-earth from The Hobbit to The Silmarillion by Robert Foster ~ NEW DELUXE SLIPCASED HARDCOVER EDITION ~ Profusely Illustrated by Ted NasmithA complete and definitive concordance to the names of people, places and things in Middle-earth! Who was Gerontius Took? Sancho Proudfoot? What was the Calendar of Imladris? When was the Sunless Year? The Third Age? Where was Mirkwood? Fangorn Forest? All people, places and events - from Adaldrida Brandybuck to Zirak-Zigil - in Tolkien's classic masterpiece are identified and described in detail! The first and definitive encyclopedia, The Complete Guide to Middle-earth is now available for the first time as a clothbound deluxe edition, housed in a fully illustrated slipcase, to complement the deluxe illustrated editions of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, and is lavishly illustrated with more than 50 full-color paintings by acclaimed Tolkien artist, Ted Nasmith, with many appearing exclusively in this edition. Here are but a few of the illustrations. The Great Tree in Lorien The Shadow of Sauron The Taming of Old Man Willow by Tom Bombadil The Tower of the Moon ~ Minas Morgul Coupled with numerous genealogical tables and a unique Chronology of the First Age, it will provide an indispensable aid to every reader’s discovery of Tolkien’s world. As awesome as these pictures are, they don't even come close to doing them justice. Formatted exactly like a dictionary or encyclopedia, I have yet to find a more concise, complete, and useful companion to Tolkien's works. It also has a very detailed series of appendices including family trees of many species of Middle Earth. FEATURES: Double-sided fold-out poster which reproduces two of Nasmith's paintings, "Entering Mirkwood" and "The Pillars of the Kings" (aka the Argonath) Printed in two colors on heavyweight acid-free paper Illustrated with more than 50 full color paintings by Ted Nasmith, some appearing for the first time. Sewn in ribbon place holder Fully clothbound hardcover, stamped in gold foil with an inset miniature of "The Pillars of the Kings" Housed in a custom-built slipcase illustrated with wraparound artwork of "First Sight of Ithilien" A world-wide first printing of just 7,000 copies! This book is just a lot of fun to flip through as well. 432 pages, first day release - still sealed in shrinkwrap. NOTE: The first version of this book came in and went out of print so fast that most people never even got the chance to buy one before they were gone. Don't miss your chance to grab one of these new Deluxe Editions before they too are gone! To see all of the Tolkien items I am selling whether on sale or not, CLICK HERE!!

And if you have any requests, by all means, send me an email; if I have it, I'll list it right away for you (no off eBay sales...) For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of... I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date! PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below.. Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options. Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS! PAYMENT OPTIONS:I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live. REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue! International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral. Questions? Ask and I'll try to answer...
