Summary: A look at the design of the Two Towers
Review: This book shows lots of pretty pictures of drawings of monsters, environments, clothing, buildings and other stuff. You can see some ideas of how some designs developed into what you saw in the LOTR movie 'The two towers'.The book is lavishly illustrated of course, and there are some short explanations or other explanations on the pictures you see in the book. Lots of the drawings look great, and you can also see some WETA clay models of certain scenes in the movies. In short it's a must-have for real fans of the Lord of the Rings,
it's got everything you'd expect it would have, but somehow the previous part of the 'art of'- series looks better. I'm talking about 'the Art of the Fellowship of the Ring'. I think it has to do something with the fact that the Two Towers movie was much darker and less colorful than the Fellowship of the Ring, this somehow reflects in this book. This art book is a good buy, especially if you liked the movie, it will be a nice additon to your collection.

Summary: A keepsake edition for fans of the "Two Towers" movie
Review: This keepsake edition for fans of the "Two Towers" movie packs in gorgeous full-page color plates depicting the art of the film. From the process of model-making based on drawings by Tolkien illustrators to costuming and the making of new visual designs, Lord Of Rings: Art Of Two Towers is packed with beautiful works and insights into their creation and origins. Very highly recommended.

Summary: Buy it now or die of guilt!
Review: This was an incredible book! This book proved to be an invaluable resource to me as a costumer. Any costumer or anyone remotely interested in LotR will benefit from this; it made the difference when I was making the Arwen Blood Red Dress. (Mom helped, but the book did more :)
