Info Il volume è una bibliografia illustrata dei libri di Tolkien e di altri oggetti da collezione ispirati dalle sue opere. La raccolta, interamente a colori, offre una panoramica sulle edizioni tolkieniane inglesi e americane, e il cinema, tra cui un'anteprima generale dei prodotti ispirati a Il Signore degli Anelli: La Compagnia dell'Anello, che proprio nel 2001 iniziava la sua lunga strada verso il successo. Il libro contiene anche i prodotti concessi in licenza a partire dal 1970, compresi i libri, calendari, giochi e oggetti da collezione provenienti da diverse aziende (Kinder Sorpresa, Mithril Miniatures, Sideshow Collectibles-WETA, etc.).
La raccolta è alquanto incompleta e presenta anche errori nelle descrizioni.

Note For more than 60 years the published works of J.R.R. Tolkien have delighted readers of all ages. It was in 1937 that The Hobbit first captured our hearts and stirred our imaginations. In 1955 followed the grand epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has been called the most influential fantasy story of all time. The Lord of the Rings has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 40 languages, an accomplishment that no other work of fiction comes close to matching.
In addition to the books, there has been a staggering array of products produced related to and influenced by the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and his richly imagined world of Middle-Earth. Treasures from the Misty Mountains details for you the endless collection of Tolkien-related products in addition to an accounting of all of Tolkien's writings.
Included herein are sections devoted to Books, both by and about Tolkien; Calendars; Toys; Collectible statues; Audio recordings; and so much more. Also presented are details of the movies - both the earlier animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy from New Line Cinema.
"This is a book of all things Tolkien, a feast for devoted fans and novices alike, with more than 500 colour pictures. Treasures from the Misty Mountains" - A Collector's Guide to Tolkien.
