This reminded me of the first time I read the Silmarillion. I picked up an old Book Club Associates copy with the red-and-white fold-out map in the back. Delighted with the largeness of the map I spent half an hour trying to find Utumno on it. It baffles me that someone with Tolkien's attention to detail should have left the placement of this feature to other cartographers. Any thoughts?
