Synopsis

This set consists of six maps, each of which folds out to about 22" by 16", and a booklet. The maps don't cover all of Middle Earth, instead they are regional maps that cover all the main action of "The Lord of the Rings". The 6 maps are as follows, broadly in the order that the characters in "The Lord of the Rings" encounter them. 1. The Shire. Includes all of the Shire, and goes beyond to include Lake Evendim in the north, the beginning of the Gulf of Lune in the west, and Bree on the far eastern edge. Hence it also includes the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs. 2. Eregion. From Lothlorien in the southeast to Bree in the northwest; includes the Misty Mountains from just north of Fangorn up to the southern edge of the Ettenmoors. This one is at 30 miles to the inch; the others are all at 20 miles to the inch. 3. Rohan. Includes Isengard at the western edge of the map; all of Fangorn forest, north as far the field of Celebrant at the southern edge of Mirkwood, and east to the east shore of the Anduin, including the Emyn Muil. 4. West Gondor. The Lefnui river runs down the west edge of this map, which covers Pinnath Gelin, the Blackroot Vale, and Dol Amroth in the southeast. 5. East Gondor. Belfalas in the southwest, with Dol Amroth just off the map; the mouths of the Anduin and east as far as south Ithilien and the foothills of the Mountains of Shadow. Minas Tirith is there, of course, and Osgiliath, but Minas Morgul is off the eastern edge of the map. Cair Andros is right at the north edge. 6. Mordor. Mordor is a rectangular shape for a map, and the map covers it more or less exactly, with the addition of Ithilien as far as Osgiliath down the west edge. The booklet includes information about all the major regions of Middle Earth, even if not on the map. On the back cover is a map of all of Middle Earth. The booklet is informative and moderately detailed, like a hand book. The maps are in excellent condition, as never been used.
