Red Book
This magnificent book has the uncanny effect of instilling a sense that you are, without a doubt, holding a genuine artifact of the past. Things that stood out to me were the old-wolrd smell, the feel of the aged leather and paper, the incredible craftsmanship, the stunning attention to detail, and the extra-literature research that went into this project (Bilbo's farewell poem from one of Tolkien's personal letters was an amazing touch). If there was one piece of ultimate fandom that would ever be worth spending a pretty penny on, this is it - not only because of the content, but this is genuinely a piece of artisanal work. I was blessed to receive this book as a collective birthday gift from my friends and family, and after seeing pictures of one many years ago I feel extremely lucky to have secured a copy. It inspired me to try my hand at calligraphy and create my own copies of Tolkien's "Kings Letter" and "Thorin's Letter" which now also reside in my red book. To anyone reading and considering, stop looking at the images, save up the money, and buy one - you will absolutely not regret it...

This book is $%#&ing incredible! Beautiful and compelling retelling of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings that genuinely reads as though it was written by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam, with accompanying marginalia and art in the style of each author. This Red Book of Westmarch genuinely feels like an artifact from Middle Earth...

Now when I stumbled onto the web site and saw the images for the Red Book of Westmarch, I thought that this would make for a nice addition to my Tolkien book collection. But then after receiving the book in the mail and looking through it; those online images did not do it justice! This replicated copy is beautifully hand rendered and surpasses my expectations, a definite must have for serious Tolkien collector. Thank you magnoliclothiers.com..

I just received the Red Book of Westmarch, and it has far surpassed my expectations. The effort and detail that went into this book is evident the moment you unwrap it. The manner in which it was written and the corresponding illustrations nearly convinced me that this was Bilbo's journal. I will treasure it forever and highly recommend it...

I love it. Amara (my daughter) gifted me this book for Christmas. I have been a fan of LotR since I was 12 years old, and one of my favorite details is how Tolkien recites the lineage of the book containing his story at the beginning ("a Note on Shire Records"). Decades ago, I came across a special edition bound in red to simulate the Red Book of the Periannath, but could not buy it then, and have never seen anything like it since. Your recreation of the Red Book surpasses, by far, anything I have ever seen. I love it--the multiple scripts indicating several different authors, the illustrations, the paper and binding--it all comes together to create a remarkable work of art. I am sure several artists were involved, so please thank them all for me. I am simply blown away by the care put into a gift for a stranger. Kia ora, kia mihi!..
