For lovers and collectors of movie tie-in books, Houghton Mifflin is releasing a slew of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey tie-in books for adults and kids over the coming months. Veteran collectors will note the involvement of Jude Fisher and Brian Sibley.
However, the first of these is a movie tie-in edition of The Hobbit published by Mariner books that will debut on September 18. If the prints of the “movie” versions of the Lord of the Rings are a good guide (and we are pretty sure they are), the text will remain the same, with the cover an iconic image taken from the film.
Houghton Mifflin sent a full list list to reviews.libraryjournal.com of the of books will hit bookstores on November 6.
Check the full list under the cut.
- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Visual Companion by Jude Fisher.
- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Official Movie Guide by Brian Sibley.
- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Movie Storybook by Paddy Kempshall.
- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Activity Book by Paddy Kempshall.
- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey—The World Of Hobbits by Paddy Kempshall.
Just like each Lord of the Rings film, the visual tie-in books are hitting the streets just prior to the debut of the film. In particular the visual companion is sure to be packed with revelations and key imagery that shows how the first film was made and will unfold.
