Tom writes: Concerning FredOs question about the maps in the 50th Anniversary LOTR, the following is a copy of the e-mail I just sent to Fred. He’s a well known local Pittsburgh Ringer!
Fred,
Hi! Just saw your question over at TORn about getting at the maps.
I have opened both maps by gently lifting/separating the pages away from those little drops of glue. The glue is like a heavy duty rubber cement rather than a more permanent type.
As far as trying to remove the maps from the book itself, I really don’t think that they were meant to come out, just by the way they’re attached (one leaf appears to go into the binding ).
Hope this helps!

Obsessed Lord of the Rings fans, a woman posing as a man, and a fake charity – just when you thought the sideshows surrounding the movie trilogy could not get stranger, they become truly weird. New Zealand actors and star Sean Astin were unwittingly drawn into a bizarre con based around the LOTR and the eccentric online world it spawned. [More]

The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy has proved to be fertile source material for video game adaptations, spawning hack-and-slash action adventures as well as a soon-to-be-released real-time strategy title. The Third Age, however, is a turn-based, console-style role-playing game that takes a slightly different path from its film-faithful cousins. Instead of featuring the original cast of characters and following their journey as it was laid out in the films and novels, The Third Age introduces a new cross-cultural group of travelers as they put their own stamp on the history of Middle-earth. While there are some rough edges, the result is mostly a nice little role-playing jaunt into the world of Tolkien. [More] [Gaming Havens]
