What do you read after a book moved you to your core?

I turn to something as different as possible, and this time it was this book / work of art.

This object holds together a large map of The Hobbit painted by John Howe, and a leaflet with an introduction, a short essay and a glossary by Brian Sibley. It is a precious little volume, as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside, with the map and additional drawings peppered through the text. I'd been eyeing this one and its companion pieces (John Howe's maps for The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion) for ages, so I was absolutely delighted when a friend gifted her spare copy to me. This will hold a place of choice on my shelves.
