This beautiful limited-edition Lord of the Rings Home of Middle-earth stamp collection features the landscapes of New Zealand side by side with their Middle-earth counterparts.

This set features various formats of the following stamps: The Ford of Bruinen/Skippers Canyon - 45c, South of Rivendell/Mt Olympus - 90c, Edoras/Erewhon - $1.50, Mordor/Tongariro - $2.00. Formats include one set of eight gummed stamps, one miniature sheet set together with a stunningly evocative image of the mighty warriors Aragorn and Legolas, one booklet containing three of each stamp with a detailed description of the actual area in New Zealand and how that area was transformed into Middle-earth. A set of eight stamps with a limited edition souvenir cover, five stamps detailing the color separation process. It is packaged in a beautiful and sturdy hardcover book in a hardcover slipcase measuring 11 x 11- inches. Includes a certificate of authenticity.
