Each character has many designs variations shown, but mostly from the hair and facial hair - probably more hairstyles that you can find in a hair saloon brochure. There are Bilbo and his entourage of dwarves, trolls, goblins, and creatures. The majority are mostly character designs and the related, such as costumes, weapons and other props. The book is all art and there aren't a lot of photos, so you won't find behind the scenes shots and there are only small thumbnails of the actors in makeup. There are art from Alan Lee, John Howe, Dan Hennah (production designer), Richard Taylor and many others from Weta Workshop. Yes, it's all fantasy art, and they are all very beautiful and detailed. There's a generous amount of concept art included that feature the characters, props and environment. Behind the cover is Thorin's Map that you can tear out from the perforated edges, and at the back is a long gatefold of Bilbo's Burglar contract should you want to read the fine prints to see what Bilbo has gotten himself into. The cover is beautifully embossed with texture and shine. In some ways, I like it better than the ones from LOTR. This is a wonderful companion art book for the movie.
