Review
"With its maps, directions, visitor information and exclusive stills of the locatuibs as they apper in reality, this was obviously a labour of love for the author, who has bent over backwards to make this the definitive Rings guide...it's easy to se why this was voted New Zealand Book of the Year!" - Film Review

About the Author

Ian Brodie has two great enthusiasms - warplanes and Tolkien. And in a unique kind of way they have combined in the Location
Guidebook. As director of the NZ Fighter Pilot's Museum in Wanaka, Ian organises and attends flying shows throughout New Zealand, where he met a fellow enthusiast, Peter Jackson. Not too long after that the idea was born to write a guide for fans to the locations used in filming Peter's masterpiece. Ian set out with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the books and movies, a GPS and a ton of enthusiasm, and compiled the ultimate fan's tribute to the moviemakers and the host of locals who contributed to the movie trilogy.
