Thanks. The work, including the source material,

All the information about generating the map is here, which you can use
to generate images of any resolution, admittedly with some time and effort.

I'll make a point to publish an 8Kx8K pixel image, which I think is sufficient
resolution for prints 2 meters to a side.

I have reservations about selling prints myself until such a time as I can
acquire permission from the Tolkiens' publisher. I've made a note to send them
another letter.

Thanks,
