The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Visual Companion by Jude Fisher
2.0
A pretty weak instalment in the 'visual companion' series. The majority of this spends time giving us recaps and no new information at all. The only pages to hold anything of passing interest are in the latter half, on Beorn, Mirkwood and it's characters, Lake-town and Smaug but even those don't really give you anything of interest if you've been following the film news as I have. The majority of the images are either from AUJ, or have already been seen - either taken from trailers or stills already seen online. There's very little new or of interest in this book for fans.
The best things in this book are Richard Armitage's well written introduction, and the photo on page 69 that shows us John Howe and Alan Lee's cameos (they're dressed as members of Lake-town's brass band/heraldry).
