Signed by Author. Signed by Salvatore on title page. Book is clean and tight; unread, no creasing to spine. Light wear to edges and corners. "Six years. Not so long in the lifespan of a drow. And yet--in counting the months, the weeks, the days, the hours--it seemed to me as if I had been away from Mithral Hall a hundred times that number. The place was another lifetime, another way of life, a mere stepping stone to... To what? To where? I ride the waves along the Sword Coast now, the wind and spray in my face. My ceiling is the rush of clouds and the canopy of stars; my floor, the creaking boards of a swift, well-weathered ship. Beyond that lies the azure blanket, flat and still, heaving and rolling, hissing in the rain and exploding under the fall of a breaching whale. Is this, then, my home?"

The maps are drawn in two colours throughout and clearly show Frodo's route, along with the paths taken by other principle characters, and provide enough detail to help the reader to envisage the country through which the narrative moves. The maps are based on clear and detailed descriptions given in the text and on the original maps that appeared with the books. The author has also studied Tolkien's own paintings and drawings of the landscape and features of Middle-earth. Each map has extensive notes to explain special points and to give reference for the information used."
