(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

Book - Lord of the Rings sketchbook
Score: 10/10  
Year:  2005
Harper Collins. 
ISBN 0261103830
192 pages 

 I finally ordered this beautiful sketchbook with Alan Lee's works for the LOTR movie trilogy, after having followed its price drop ever-so-slowly from over 30 € to 25 to 18,60 and decided it was time to complete our set and that this was a very good price which probably won't be matched again. 
It was released in 2005, 2 years after the completion of the trilogy and includs Alan Lee's sketched artwork for the movies, in a medium sized book 19,9 x 1,8 x 25,7 cm 




 Alan was a natural choice to work on the film conceptual art, as his drawings had already been used for Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, and the Children of Hurin books.   






For information, the extended trilogy bluray boxed set includes interviews with Alan and John Howe, and tells on the process of finding them both and their artistical endeavours which are an integral part for this masterpiece.
