John Howe's "Middle-earth Traveler'

Has anyone else picked up John Howe's "Middle-earth Traveler: Sketches from Bag End to Mordor?"
If you like Howe's work (as one of the main conceptual artists of the Peter Jackson films), you'll love this. It's got a lot of pencil sketches, as well as full-color prints.
There are some gems I haven't seen before, like sketches of the interior of a 'typical Hobbit home' and his imaginings of dwellings in Far Harad.
If you've got a Dwarf persona that is inspired by the aesthetic established in the films, there's a two page splash of "Dwarven craft," featuring dozens of lanterns, pipes, costrels, and tools. And another featuring weapons. (If $30 for the book is outside your budget and you'd like to see these to contribute to your kit, PM me and I'll scan the pages to you).
