In November 2001, timed to coincide with the worldwide release of the second in the Lord Of The Rings movie trilogy, The Two Towers, The Location Guidebook became an overnight success, selling 75,000 copies in its first five months, and enjoying 18-weeks at #1 on the New Zealand bestseller list.

While produced with the full cooperation of Peter Jackson and Newline Productions, rigid protection of images and details of the third and final movie, The Return Of The King, were not able to be included. In November 2003, with the release of the final movie, author Ian Brodie was finally able to complete his comprehensive review of the movie locations. With the first edition now supplemented with additional location information, new interviews with cast and crew, including an exclusive interview with Peter Jackson and a new forward by Viggo Mortenson, Ian has added new photographs and additional movie images from the third movie, along with the touring informaiton, GPS references and local directions which helped make the first edition such a success.

The Lord Of The Rings Location Guidebook Extended Edition is the perfect reference "coffeetable" book for everyone enchanted by the beauty of the locations in the movie trilogy. It contains valuable background information and exclusive anecdotes about the filming, with sections written specially by Peter Jackson, Alan Lee, Richard Taylor, Barrie Osborne, and contributions from many cast and crew. With 32 more pages than the standard softcover edition and in a larger format, the extended edition contains more, and larger, full colour photos in addition to much useful information for travelers.
