Map of middle earth

In Lord of the rings, (Tolkien) where can I get a good map of 'middle earth'? I mean something detailed. Thanx.

How detailed? I just typed 'Middle Earth' into a Google Images search and got these three:

http://www.casaconforti.net/Disegni/...rth%20copy.jpg (most detailed)

There's plenty more, of varying colour and detail, that came up as well.

My son has a hardcover edition of The Silmarilion from the 70s that includes a fold-out detailed original map. It's out of print, but not that hard to find.

If you're talking extreme detail (down to specific camping spots) try:

The three-volume, hardcover edition still has the fold-out maps created under Tolkien's direction by his son. I'm referring to the basic edition without any movie tie-in illustrations. Used copies after 1980 have the latest version of these maps.

I bought some used copies of the books that were cheap and in poor condition specifically so I could salvage the maps. That way I could follow the maps alongside as I read the books (better copies, that is).
