Imladris - A quick visual guide to the books of and about J.R.R. Tolkien


A quick visual guide to the books of and about J.R.R. Tolkien:
Infographics

In the build-up to the release of Amazon Studio's "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" TV show I created a series of infographics to help newcomers (and no-so-new fans) to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien understand the range of books that were available from Tolkien's own works, to books about him and the vast scholarly corpus being published year on year.

I was given assistance and advice by a group of fans, scholars and lore-experts on Twitter including Dr. Dimitra Fimi whilst I designed the infographic. Some decisions were made due to the space limits at the time. Not everything was able to fit or go where was suggested. The infographics here should not be considered "completed" since I may yet move some of the items around, but they are available here as useful guides. I created some simpler infographic for "The Rings of Power" related books, included here too.
