Quoted from Lotr-Hobbit:

As an owner of LOTR, a game I will never sell, and as a future owner(paid in full), of the Hobbit SE, and as a recent buyer of WOZ for my sibling, I think we should all give JJP a bit more time to get the Hobbit right. I agree the book looks out of place and is probably just a placeholder. And for certain, Smaug needs to be tuned up. But I think we need to be patient with the progress of this machine. The code has a long way to go, and I suspect the game will look different in its final form. JJP has been a great innovator with it's LED and fantastic lighting. But it has not been very successful with meeting deadlines. I am not entirely happy with the current progress either, but I think the realistic view is that JJP needs more time. I agree JJP is unable to churn out 2-3 machines every year like Stern, but I would argue that JJP is making a different product than Stern. Bottom line.......cut JJP some slack here.
