![]() ![]() The primary focus of the dust jacket, which I thought was very very sweet, is the heraldic device Tolkein created for Luthien. There’s also a very bright lime green coating to the edges of the pages, overlain with more Tengwar script in white, which matches the script on the dust jacket. Both of these maps are incredibly cool and I’m probably going to frame them. The book comes with two poster-sized fold out maps of Beleriand - one of which is quite sketched out, which I feel provides a very interesting look behind-the-scenes into Tolkien’s process as he was filling out his world and developing its tales. It also includes the full text of The Silmarillion printed in two colors, which is a very lovely touch. Today we are taking a first look at this brand new Illustrated edition of The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien.Īvailable for the first time ever, this edition includes full-color paintings, illustrations, designs, and maps done by Tolkien himself.
