[tonybsg]

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Chronicles – Cloaks and Daggers peers through the silver screen to examine the incredible efforts undertaken to create thousands of costumes, armour, weapons, props and set dressing elements for Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson’s adaptations of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

Covering both The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, this lavish volume bulges with behind the scenes images, sumptuous photography and film stills.

The films’ stars and the creative geniuses behind countless beautiful objets d’art share their insights and stories, revealing how it felt to craft, wield and wear these precious pieces of Middle-earth.

Researched and compiled by Weta Workshop senior concept designer Daniel Falconer, with a foreword by Evangeline Lilly, playing Tauriel the Woodland Elf, and an introduction by costume designer Ann Maskrey, this is the definitive guide to the artefacts and sumptuous fabrics of The Hobbit film adaptations.

Looks great! Do you know if the Amazon editions come signed as well?

I do not think they come signed my friend from amazon.

I have bought directly from weta twice though, they send the books in special packaging, and arrive within 3 weeks.

So I guess I'll be ordering directly from them . Never ordered from there before, not sure how long it'd take to arrive here.

Thanks!

Edit: just ordered, let's see how it unfolds =P. And now I want all the other signed ones lol!
