Lord of the Rings Location Guide

By Ian Brodie.

This book is the ultimate guide for those who wish to visit New Zealand. I brought this with me while I went through the Lord of the Rings - Red Carpet Movie Tour, which is the best tour you'll ever get in New Zealand, especially if you're a fan of the books and movies ;-)

NZ is one of the most beautiful places in this world and it was a good stroke of luck that Peter Jackson (a New Zealander, in case you didn't know hehe) decided to locate Middle Earth in NZ.

You'll also want this book if you're the DIY travel-type, or you simply want to save money. Armed with this guide book, you can rent a car, bring your trusty GPS and travel on your own. This book will take you to the places the ordinary day tours cover, and even those places that they won't. Visit Hobbiton, where the beautiful, green rolling hills and the giant oak tree convinced Peter Jackson that this would be indeed be the place where Bilbo would celebrate his birthday.

Written by Ian Brodie, a New Zealand pilot who later became friends with Peter Jackson, the book contains GPS coordinates, movie stills showing the location and trivia that only a master traveler and LOTR fan can give.

It also has essays by important people from the production of the movie.
