The Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook by Ian Brodie
In November 2001 timed to coincide with the worldwide release of the second in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy The Two Towers: The Location Guidebook became an overnight success selling over 90 000 copies in its first eight months in ANZ. While produced with the full cooperation of Peter Jackson and New Line Productions Inc. rigid protection of images and details of the third and final movie The Return of the King were not able to be included. In November 2003 with the release of the final movie author Ian Brodie is finally able to complete his comprehensive review of the movie locations. With the first edition now supplemented with additional location information new interviews with key cast and crew including an exclusive interview with Peter Jackson and a new foreword by Viggo Mortenson Ian has added new photographs and additional movie images from the third movie along with the touring information GPS references and local directions which helped make the first edition such a success.
