Rayner Unwin has sent via Joy Hill blowups from the The Lord of the Rings of area the There and Back Again map would need to cover. It has much some details that have nothing to with The Hobbit and place names that should have most emphasis are those on the map in that work, but there is also a map of the Shire in The Fellowship of the Ring.
He has discussed the title with Tolkien and, if can fit in, There and Back Again: A Map of Bilbo’s Journey Through Eriador and Rhovanion seems most appropriate. Tolkien is pleased about the project and would like to see it ‘before absolute finality’. He also seemed keen to have a visit from Pauline and Fritz.
Pauline is to alert Rayner if there are any discrepancies between various maps and adds that she should leave some space at the bottom for the bibliography.
