RELEASE NOTES:
Ahhhh. My second catch. There are only two other semi-active BookCrossers in the tri-town area, so this one is from Philly, PA and Suebo.
I haven't seen this cover art before, though I have seen other LotR work by Ted Nasmith. This from the scene were Frodo fords the river. The scale's a bit weird, and the Nasgûl don't look quite as fearful as I would hope (they could almost be Gondorian soldiers: they're decidedly human in form and lack those great long layers), but I do love Samwise puffing up behind Glorfindel. The colours are great, too.
This gives me a fantastic excuse to re-read the trilogy (as does my [shamefully] having to look up the name of the Elf on the cover). I like this book because of how young the hobbits seem in it. There is such innocence. So much of it is spent in establishing Hobbiton as an idylic place, it gives a real frame to the decisions Sam makes (much) later.
Granted, I'm also the rare freak who counts The Two Towers as the favourite of the trilogy...
It's also a third book for Reason 47 Why I Love BookCrossing: a more-than-four-year-old "Sorry we missed you, but we couldn't leave the package at your doorstep" notice. No worries, Suebo, I've removed it (as it contained your address). If you are also a fan of #47, let me know, and I'll slip it back in.
I'm a little embarrased by just how big a geek I am.
Not sure what to write? You might let us know where you found this book, what you thought of it (did you like it?), what you think about BookCrossing, and what you're going to do with this book.
