"Enter Bilbo Baggin's world through exclusive interviews with director Peter Jackson, Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen and all the principal cast and filmmakers, who share film-making secrets and tales of what it was actually like making movie magic in Middle-earth. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos of the actors, locations, sets, creatures and costumes, this essential guide has been produced in collaboration with the filmmakers who have brought J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel into breathtaking three-dimensional life." --P. 4 of cover.… (more)

    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles by Daniel Falconer (MissBrangwen)
    MissBrangwen: The chronicles give more in-depth information and are very detailed, while the books by Sibley are more concise, but interesting nonetheless.

I already watched all the films' "apprendices", so I didn't expect to read anything new. However, there was a bit of insight from the interviews here. The photos were wonderful, too! ( )

Wonderful glimpse behind the scenes of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey movie. I learned a lot about how complex the process is, as well as the care taken in every aspect of bringing Middle Earth to life. ( )

Does what it says on the tin. Excellent photographs and some nice peeks into the behind-the-scenes stuff of the first Hobbit film. If you're into movies, Jackson, or Tolkien, absolutely worth a go, though if Rings was any indication, we're probably going to have much, much better behind-the-scenes material in DVD Extras form. And I take a star off for some really clumsy writing at the beginning of sections and for sometimes referring to the two Hobbit movies and sometimes the three Hobbit movies. I realize much of the work on the book was probably done when it was indeed two movies, but this easily could have been fixed before going to publication. ( )
