The strong point is that it brings a lot of illustrations (it would be bad if it didn't, since it's called illustrated world), and with a lot of variety. You may like them more, you may like them less, but they reflect how the authors see and how the authors represent the vast universe that Tolkien created. I really like two artists that I have discovered here, Kip Rasmussen and Mauro Mazzara, but there are many other very good illustrations.

Moreover, illustrated maps help the viewer see what you want them to see. First, they allow the viewer to focus on the most exciting areas to isolate the beauty, the style, the sharp features, or the overall feeling created in an area. For instance, this map illustration technique combines the familiar with the beautiful. The map shows the names of the seven continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, Antarctica) and five oceans (Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean) that children learn in geography.

Las explicaciones me resultaron muy interesantes, puesto que ahondan un poco en la inspiración del autor y de las bases lingüísticas (como chica de letras estas cosas me encantan). I know David Day has a level of pariah in the Tolkien World. Mostly because his "encyclopedias" do not give the most accurate description of Tolkien characters and places. It's difficult to tell where Tolkien ends and Day begins.

Cuando la obra de Tolkien salió a la luz, una de las críticas (mal intencionada), decía que la Tierra Media alentaba el escapismo. Tal vez hubiera algo de cierto en ello, pero por los motivos incorrectos, pues ¿quién no gustaría evadirse por los bosques y montañas de semejante mundo? ¿Los ríos, lagos, ciudades y fortalezas con tamaño trasfondo?

Además de las imponentes ilustraciones, el libro trae muchos datos curiosos sobre Tolkien, su obra, los nombres, e inspiraciones legendarias y mitológicas de las que bebió.
