Lets go to Arda, Created by Sir Tolkien
I just love this book. You will get everything from this book, that Tolkien created from beginning of Arda (Earth) to the end. This book have all the maps from the First Age, to Fourth Age. As it's name is Atlas, you will get everything, people of races, their languages, food, weather, I mean literally everything. I will say just one thing, go for this.

Perfecto. Muy detallista. Una obra imprescindible para seguir el Silmarillion, ya que el mapa que lleva éste es muy ambiguo.

He leído de otros autores qué se quieren colgar de la fama o escribir sus teorías de temas inventando o sobre interpretando las cosas (ejem: la filosofía de los hobbits, los simpsons y la filosofía, guía para leer la tierra media etc). En cambio Fonstad hace una construcción geográfica con la información expresamente tomada de lo publicado por Tolkien. No le pone de su cuchara, pero siempre con sentido riguroso el su profesión qué es la cartografía. Es muy entretenido leer la descripción de los mapas, hay mapas para prácticamente todos los eventos qué suceden en el señor de los anillos, hobbit y el silmarillion. Hubiera sido mucho más fácil leer el silmarillion por primera vez con este atlas. Los mapas son hechos a mano y se nota el trabajo, mucho mejor para los mapas del silmarillon qué el del señor de los anillos. Se sienten un poco más simples, tal vez por que estos no representaba un reto tan grande. Obviamente estamos leyendo de situaciones y lugares de ficción pero sin duda un ojo académico al construir y en este caso cartografíar los mapas, enriquece enormemente la calidad del trabajo. Se puede observar en la consistencia de las distancias y elementos cartograficos durante todo el libro. Es una lástima que no trabajen con el sistema internacional de medidas y usen millas y pies pero bueno son costumbres qué van cambiando para bien.

Very useful book. I’ve read silmarillion and lotr many times before but this time will be a different journey. I believe these wonderful books must be read in guidance with comprehensive maps to feel like a true Middle Earth’er. This excellent and meticulously prepared guide book is that all you need for this to happen. Besides, the delivery was fast and the condition of the book was perfect as i received. Recommended.

It is so awesome to reread the books and follow the journeys of the Dwarves or the Fellowship on maps, or to get a better picture of where battles in the Silmarillion took place. Worth it!
