This book concludes the series that started my obsession with art and design books. (I somehow missed acquiring book four so my personal collection is not quite complete but that will be rectified, hopefully, by my birthday.)
This particular book surpassed my memory of the beauty of the others. As much as I detest the detrimental changes that Mr. Jackson made to The Hobbit, it is impossible to deny the magnificent artistry of all of Weta Workshop. Daniel Falconer, as usual, does a fantastic job with all of the text.
I could not put this book down.
