All That is Gold Does Not Glitter, Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

As you've probably picked up over the lifespan of Kindof Maybe, I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings movies.  I was a little underwhelmed by the first installment of The Hobbit, but maybe they'll get better as they go on.  You may remember the dress I painted the map of Middle Earth onto, and to this day it remains the most complimented piece of clothing I own.

Many times I've thought about producing more to sell on Etsy (a thought that still might come to fruition in the near-ish future).  But then I thought, I should probably read the books to have full knowledge and understanding of the story, and to complete my total geek-out.  As people always say, the book is better than the movie.  Last time I was in St. Louis, I hunted around in the Hunt Family book collection and found all four installments, vintage, from the 60's.  The cover art is incredible.
