Reviews
I enjoy Alan Lee's work, he illustrates the passages very well in his drawings and his depiction is one of my favorites. As mentioned in the title, saw his work in Fall of Gondolin and Children of Hurin and decided to buy more of his art work. I enjoyed his book and I think it is a good addition to anyones library. Added other books for size comparison. (PS: While I was buying it, Amazon did not have it in stock, so I bought it from Book Depository US, eventhough the order was not the fastest, they were very fast in responding and was ready to compensate if a mistake occured so credit to them)
