    This is the fourth Chronicles book in the Hobbits film series. Fans and readers who like the previous three books will find that this is produced with as much care and effort as the previous three. In other words, this book is extremely detailed and insightful.This companion book focuses on the props and costumes to the first and second Hobbit films. It's a beautiful hardcover that's 256 pages thick.Everything in the film has to be made. It's only going through this book that one can even begin to imagine how much work there is. This book really gives you a good idea of that scope. The company responsible is 3Foot7, and production designer is Dan Hennah.It goes through each and every costumes, weapons and accessories used by the characters, whether they are dwarfs, orcs, elves or others. All pictures used are of high resolution.The writer and art director for this book is Daniel Falconer, who's also a designer at Weta Workshop for more than 15 years. He has included extensive writeup and commentary from the staff, the sculptors, costume makers, dyers, prop-makers, armourers, jewellers, weavers, and other craftsmen. An immense and diverse set of skills is certainly on display. The prop designs are really detailed.The staff talks not just about the design, but also how they actually make the props, such as the fabric, shoes, belts, jewellery, rings, etc. In many cases, they actually case the metal themselves. You'll read about the many hats of Gandalf, the coins in the Dragon's treasure hoard, furniture and ornaments that decorate the sets.After reading the book, you'll probably watch the film again with new appreciation.Highly recommended to fans of the film.(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

    Another Beautiful Book
  

*by S***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016*

After getting two of these Hobbit books compiled by Weta designer Daniel Falconer I knew I had to get them all because they are such beautiful books that celebrate all the hard work, dedication, ingenuity, skill and imagination of all the master craftsmen that worked on the films. This book was no exception.If you like to see the planning stages of costumes, armor, weaponry, props and scenery this book is for you.  I love seeing everything in the planning stages of what they originally planned and then how it ended up looking.  It’s also nice to see up close the weaponry and costumes as well as read the actors’ comments.My favorites are the elves, particular Thranduil.  I love all the beautiful photos of his rings, broaches, staff, sword and costumes as well as the commentary from the amazing staff creating the looks as well as from actor Lee Pace.  There’s input from many of the actors who played elves, dwarves and others.  They also go into great detail about Biblo Baggins’ Hobbit village with lots of photos.This is a beautiful coffee table book that will be fun to look at and share with friends and others who love the Hobbit series.

    Arguably the Best Book in the Series
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019*

Great reference book that takes one behind the scenes of the Hobbit trilogy. One thing that I have enjoyed the most about the Middle Earth movies is Weta Workshop’s attention to detail, even in little things that may never actually be seen on screen. This book has page after page of gorgeous pictures that focus on the physical armor, costuming, and weapons of the Hobbit trilogy. The author also takes time to focus on the different disciplines, ranging from dyeing to metal craft, required to create such wonderful art. This is probably my favorite book of the seven-part Hobbit art book series.
