New Line Cinema issued a series of hardback pressbooks, all of which are highly sought after by collectors.
The Return of the King pressbook was published privately, and probably had the highest print run of the three "silver" press books.
This hardback, linen (or grasscloth) bound book has 80 glossy pages in it (FOTR has 60, TTT has 70), and includes short bios of every major cast and crew members, lots of production stats, and dozens of full color photos.
There is no ISBN number, since it was privately published, never intended for sale to the public.
The ROTK press book was printed only in French. There is no copy in English or any other language, to my knowledge.
I do not know the size of the publication run on this book. I would guesstimate that the production run on the ROTK book was probably 1500-2000, as New Line was presumably gearing up for a PR blitz for the final installment. (The Fellowship of the Rings run was probably in the range of 1,000 copies or less all told, while the Two Towers is probably four or five hundred. All are hard to find, however, and were never sold directly to the public.)
Photos of this book are available on my "About Me" page.
