Reminds me, Tolkien did his own art for his book covers, but it was scarcely published. Shame. I like when illustrations are by the author. It feels like a better window through their eyes.

Indeed, and some of it was on special display at the Bodleian in Oxford a couple summers ago, which was probably the best moment of my entire life. I took secret pictures from under my jacket. EDIT: I think my favorite cover of Sil is one of the landscapes: http://home.agh.edu.pl/~evermind/images/TN-Silmarillion_cover_2004.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TwF6F_SPijY/UW4acCWS-mI/AAAAAAAAFXE/Mc5tLt1Bdqs/s1600/the+silmarillion%281%29.gif but most of all because I like to believe it shows Cuivienen, though it's more likely the Western Sea.
