I thought this was a very nice story. Rich was kind enough to email it to me. Photos of his prize are attached below.

Hi,
I was reading your guide to Press Kits for Lord of the Rings. I aquired one from the Fellowship of the Rings SE when they showed the film in the theater in 10 cities around the US.

 I won tickets to go see the film in the theater in the Washington, D.C. area. After the film I noticed it was left sitting by one of the press people there and snatched it up.

It is in a nice card stock folder with embossing on it. All the stationary inside is pristine and at least 20# stock paper with it's own theme with mountains on the letter head. The other thing inclused in the press kit are 8 slides from New Line with various pictures of the SE FOTR 3 of which are what it looks like in various formats. (VHS, DVD, and Collectors Edition) The other 5 slides are added footage of the Special Extended Edition. Bilbo writing in the pages of his journal, A shot of the fellowship receiving gifts from Galadriel; one of Arwen with Elves behind her when the fellowship leaves Rivendell.

I've attached my photos of the press kit. I tried to take pictures of the slides but they didn't turn out too well. These were produced for the press for the release of the SE of FOTR before it came out on DVD. I knew it was a nice prize for my collection.....

Thanks,

 Rich
