The Lord of the Rings Collector’s Edition Box Set: Includes The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King

Well made paperbacks that were a fantastic gift for my friend. They look exactly like the photo, and were nice for the price.

bought as a gift for my grand daughter. it is a lovely set, complete but not too froo froo...

An absolutely beautiful set! TLOTR is my favorite book and I've been looking for a while for a reading set thats durable (paperbacks are just too flimsy). I had my eye on this hardcover set for a while but wasn't sure. I finally bought them for myself for Christmas and I am so glad I did. They are absolutely beautiful!!!! They are strong, sturdy and well made. But in addition to this, they are just beautifully done. From the simple cover art embossed in gold, copper and silver, to the contrasting page edge colors, they are stunning! I also love the ribbon book mark included on each book. I am completely in love with this set!

Delivered on time, appropriately boxed for shipment. Arrived without any indications of damage in transit. The books appear to have like matching to minimize ghosting. The font is clear. The paper is a nice quality, matte finished and a little cream to off white with all qualities including thickness towards easier reading over longer period is of time. Nice Oxford hollows, head and tail bands that match the covers and the ink dyed page ends. Very nice! And a nice map included with additional maps for the liners and end pages front and back. And of course board over I believe paper covers.

This Collector’s edition is a beautiful edition of The Lord of the Rings. The hardcover of each book is elegant and beautiful. The map that comes with the set as well as the maps in the back and front covers of each book are in Tolkien’s own red inking, rather than the black-and-white restencils that are in most editions. The set looks great either in its box or for individual display on a shelf. They also are just great readings, with an included ribbon bookmark. Highly recommend this box set as a gift for any Tolkien fan.

What else can you say? It's Tolkien. It's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, all together in one big set. You saw the movies, now read the books. You won't regret it.

I wore out my previous hard bound edition. This one appears more durable, but I’ve become skeptical. I only read the previous version twice.

These are so fun! The quality and colors of th books are great! We love them!
