Excellent little book and very useful for planning visits to the
locations. You can also buy it direct from the author, Ian Brodie:

I got a signed copy at no extra cost when I ordered it online from the
UK! Delivered no problem. Reasonable cost - even though the postage
doubled the price!

This website is also helpful:

See you there next NZ summer!

I spent an hour or two in a lakeside spot on the road between
Queenstown and Glenorchie. I remember thinking that it was strange
that the bit of structure along the lakeside was granite as (AFAIK)
there isn't any granite native to NZ. I had assumed the property
belonged to some rich git who could afford to import big pieces of
granite, but when I saw LOTR/Fellowship, some angles of the scene
where Boromir gets killed looked a lot like this spot.
I'd been in NZ on extended motorcycle tour (several months) ran into
LOTR filming crews in a couple of spots - but this one was right by
the road and close to Q'town.
Maybe I'm wrong - but if you go the rest of the way down that road you
can see some of the places Willow was filmed and it's a *really* good
motorcycling road :-)

You assume wrong - there is a considerable amount of granite in NZ. There's
even a town named Granity!

Schist is more common in that area though.

There is a book I saw for sale in NZ that had all of the locations listed.
Price was about NZ$40 from memory
