Tolkien Map from the Movie

I was wondering if that map they use in the movie, like in TTT when Faramir looks at it when he has Frodo and Sam captive. Is that for sale anywhere on the net? Cause I think it'd be a cool thing to own.

I am guessing you wish for a map which has the same colour and look as <A HREF="http://www.tlotr.com/middle_earth/maps/large_beige_map2.jpg" TARGET=_blank>this</A> map?<P>The best Maps from the films that i could find were Regional Maps in a set called <I>Maps of Middle-earth: The Lord of the Rings Map Set</I><P><A HREF="http://www.bunker89.com/store/lordoftherings/1582369607.html" TARGET=_blank> </A><P><I>Click the image to enter the site where you can purchase this map set.</I><P>The Map Set Includes 6 Maps:<P><LI>The Shire. Includes all of the Shire, and goes beyond to include Lake Evendim in the north, the beginning of the Gulf of Lune in the west, and Bree on the far eastern edge. Hence it also includes the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs.<BR><LI>Eregion. From Lothlorien in the southeast to Bree in the northwest; includes the Misty Mountains from just north of Fangorn up to the southern edge of the Ettenmoors. This one is at 30 miles to the inch; the others are all at 20 miles to the inch.<BR><LI>Rohan. Includes Isengard at the western edge of the map; all of Fangorn forest, north as far the field of Celebrant at the southern edge of Mirkwood, and east to the east shore of the Anduin, including the Emyn Muil.<BR><LI>West Gondor. The Lefnui river runs down the west edge of this map, which covers Pinnath Gelin, the Blackroot Vale, and Dol Amroth in the southeast.<BR><LI>East Gondor. Belfalas in the southwest, with Dol Amroth just off the map; the mouths of the Anduin and east as far as south Ithilien and the foothills of the Mountains of Shadow. Minas Tirith is there, of course, and Osgiliath, but Minas Morgul is off the eastern edge of the map. Cair Andros is right at the north edge.<BR><LI>Mordor. Mordor is a nice rectangular shape for a map, and the map covers it more or less exactly, with the addition of Ithilien as far as Osgiliath down the west edge.<P>If you are interested in the Maps of Middle-earth, i suggest you have a look at this <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1065495706" TARGET=_blank>book</A>. <P>I hope i have helped in a way

they had dagorland instead of dagorlad<P>small point, but I didn't realise it was dagorlad until it was pointed out myself, I always thought it was Dagorland. But the book (TT) states Dagorlad!

Did anyone notice on Bilbo's map of Middle Earth at the beginning of Fellowship, The Barrow Downs is missing entirely? Sarn Ford is there in the south, but the town of Bree borders the edge of the Old Forest with nothing in between.

Why or how would bilbo know of the barrow downs, since he was never there, that i know of. And since he was never there logically there would be nothing between the old forest and bree for him to put on his map.
