If you really want the better version, then grab the individual books and not this compendium.  The individual books had better and clearer photos as well as more entries.  This book is alright for a quick reference but if you want more depth then steer clear

The official, fully authorized full-color guide to the characters, places, and landscapes of J.R.R.Tolkien's Middle-earth as depicted in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.

Fully illustrated with almost 300 color photographs, including stunning new images from the extended director's versions of the Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers and more.

The many characters, creatures, and strange lands of Middle-earth encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in their epic journey are here brought to life: from the magical Elven realms of Rivendell and Lothlorien to the abandoned Dwarven kingdom of Moria; from the wizard Saruman's stronghold at Isengard to the land of the Horse-lords, Rohan; from their last-ditch fortress at Helm's Deep to Minas Tirith, the city-kingdom of the proud Men of Gondor.

This omnibus edition also includes brand-new sections appearing in print for the first time, which take the story of the quest of the Fellowship beyond Mount Doom, all the way to the heartbreaking finale at the Grey Havens.

I purchased this item for my 8-year old nephew who discovered it at his school library and could not get enough time with it.  It is very popular at his school.  Even though he has the other three individual visual companions he still wanted this one as it has pictures that are not in the other books.  If you or your child are a LOTR fan you will want to add this book to your ccollection.

Happy with the product and its content.  Great photos and info.
Not happy someone stuck a price sticker on the cover that left sticky residue.

I purchased this book because I had been told that it contained all the photos from Jude Fisher's three previous visual companions:  The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, which I had seen, but not purchased.  While it does have some of the photos, it doesn't have all of them.  Photos in certain sections have been replaced by others, and in my opinion, in some cases, the replacements aren't better pictures.  Two things would have made this book worthy of five stars.  First, if it had been done as an oversize hardcover like its predecessors, and second, if the three individual visual companions had been entirely reprinted in this one volume, and then additional photos added.  Now that I have this trilogy compilation, I won't be buying the other three individual companions, but I am sorry not to have those missing photos.

Completeなだけあって、最初から最後までしっかりガイドしてあります。
ホビットや人間など種族の説明・サムやアラゴルンなどの人物の説明・場所の説明などなどが書かれています。
(ブレゴや飛陰にもちゃんと説明が!)
写真も今まで通りたくさん載っています。
SEEの場面の写真もSEEにも入らなかった場面の写真もあります。
RotKのSEEの場面も数枚あります。
今までのVisual Companionを買ってない方もコレだけでも買ったらどうでしょう?
ファンなら買って損することはまずない、と思います。
