This set of three scripts are rare original early drafts (almost 400 rainbow pages in threes binders) that belongs personally to Costa Botes - the director in charge of the Lord of the Rings makin’of - and were used during production. The scripts feature the code name « Jamboree » ((i.e., an international mass meeting of Boy Scouts) !) and contain many revisions, cut scenes and dialog. Sean Bean confirmed that the producers and film company didn't want to make the project public and did it in secret as much as they could. So they put a word you wouldn't understand, instead of the real title.

The pages are stamped with "Costa Botes", this stamp was done by the studio to keep track of who this script and pages were issued to in case copies ever showed up.

Interesting note, that there a lot of scenes and dialogues which did not make it into the final movies or even extended editions. For example the interesting fight between Aragon and Sauron at the Gate of Mordor, in part three, where Sauron appears in the form of his alter ego Annatar, the Lord of Gifts.
