I’m trying to make rental-ready cover art for the LOTR 4-disc sets, because our shelf copies are retarded. But I’m missing some of the components. Anyone have the complete packages, who can scan and email me some pieces? Thanks! ---

When you say you want the covers scanned, you do realise there’s [at least this much](http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9611/lotrdvds6tr.jpg) involved? ---

I found [this site](http://www.freecovers.net/search.php?search=lord+of+the+rings&cat=1&x=0&y=0). Might be able to [help you out](http://www.freecovers.net/view/0/9c4e47608944e8267562e3dd40ae743e/front.html). ---

Actually I have all that; I’m just missing the flat-sheet insert, that lists all the contents. Comes adhered to the back of the box, inside the shrink wrap. We keep all our packaging, but someone through those inserts away. ---

Basically, I need the left half of [this](http://www.freecovers.net/preview/1/8ade229db0eec1dffea17a6aeb17d345/big.jpg) image, for TTT and TROTK; I have it for TFOTR. (The linked example, thanks for which by the way GuanoLad, is too lowres for me to print for the shelf.) ---

Ah. I have thrown mine out too. I don’t think many people keep those, because they get caught and all creased and folded up when you put the boxes on the shelves. ---

[QUOTE=KneadToKnow] I may be able to help. Let me look tomorrow. [/QUOTE] Awesome. I hate to put them out with only ONE of them including the full information. ---

That would be great, it would be awesome to finish with this tonight. I scan stuff at 300dpi; you can send in any format; jpeg’s probably easiest. ---

[hijack]I was looking at the cover art for the theatrical version of LOTR (I own the 12 disc box set, which has the leather-bound novel look…which is great because I always hated floating-head box art), and what is with Arwen being on every single cover? I know her role in the movies was expanded a bit from the books, but it wasn’t expanded THAT much, and she wasn’t even in the top 10 of most important characters in any of the 3 movies[/hijack] ---

Hot babe=DVDs selling. Hot elf babe=DVDs selling to fantasy geeks. That’s my theory and I’m sticking with it. 🙂 ---

Thanks. Was going for a total immersion in the “these aren’t DVDs, they’re _books_” concept.
