Sibley takes us inside the process of filmmaking to show us how the magic is made--from the director, writers and actors to wardrobe, make-up, miniatures, music and digital special effects, it's all here.
Sibley covers everything from model making to creating the one ring to rule them all, so ultimately it is just a question of what parts you like best.
Sibley wrote "The Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide," so he obviously knows the territory, but what impressed me most is that while explaining how the magic is made he manages to be both comprehensive and concise.

 Brian Sibley, Chicken Run: Hatching the Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Brian Sibley, journalist and well-known BBC radio personality, is responsible for writing this beautifully packaged, large-format, coffee-table book about the making of the eagerly-awaited first feature film from Aardman, England's innovative animation studio.
Just in the nick of time, an American rooster named Rocky arrives on the scene, a feisty ex-circus performer who seems to be able to fly and is persuaded by Ginger to teach this desirable skill to her fellow prisoners and lead a daring escape.
Sibley, in clear, concise prose devoid of gushing or over-effusiveness, uses extensive interviews to recount how the movie evolved from an idea doodled in a sketchbook to a fully realized feature, revealing the secrets of the model-making shop, the set-design shop and the animation studios -- all profusely illustrated.

 Brian Sibley's LIKELY STORIES
He lazed about in the sun on the banks of the Nile for quite a lot of the time and when he wasn’t basking, he was swimming around gobbling up hundreds of innocent little fish by the toothy jaw-full.
The Leopard was, to speak frankly, an oddball and a misfit.
He was accorded all the bogus esteem shown to a celebrity and his fellow fleas constantly begged and pestered him to recount stories of his many adventures in the world and, most especially, his intimate and minutely detailed memoirs of his life in the service of Royalty.

 Amazon.fr : The "Lord of the Rings" Official Movie Guide: Livres: Brian Sibley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Brian Sibley's straightforward approach takes the reader from the initial conception of the movie as it was developed and passed around studios (it initially started life as a two-hour condensed version of the three novels) to the months of complicated special-effects work necessary to do justice to Tolkien's extraordinary imagination.
Sibley manages to document perfectly the filmmakers' painstaking attention to detail, much of which will be missed by many moviegoers, but he also captures a sense of camaraderie from all involved who wanted to make the best movie possible.
If it's facts and background trivia you are after, then this is the best place to be--the perfect starting point for those new to Tolkien or eager to find out more about how epic movies are put together.
