Product Description:
Comprising three oversized hardback volumes housed in a full-colour slipcase, this edition of Tolkien's classic masterpiece is fully illustrated in watercolour throughout by the acclaimed and award-winning artist, Alan Lee. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike. Well over 100 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world, and occasional collectors' editions become prized and valuable items of publishing. With the epic trilogy now being released on film, images of the characters and landscapes have become eagerly sought after. Much of the look of the movies is based on Alan Lee's paintings, giving this Centenary edition of Tolkien's great work new relevance for the ever-growing number of fans.

this three book set of lord of the rings gives you the story, a 130 page appendix which contains history, a small section on elvish language, an index of characters and places, some hobbit family trees, several maps, and much more. if you want to read a great story and learn a little about the world he created, this is a great place to start. if you are a die hard fan, you might be suited with an earlier edition that may include more information on the history/language/etc. for me the extras included ...

The books have super detailed descriptions of the geography of the places, which made the reading way too tedious. Besides, heroes are supposed to act like heroes, not like cowards. And that IMO is what Frodo is: a coward forever denying his mission. I could not finish it, not even out of curiosity.

The LOTR trilogy is fantastic. But more on that in a moment, first a note about this three-book hardcover version (with the off-white covers).

There are no illustrations except Tolkien's from the original text. Otherwise, though, this is a good, durable, convient for reading, individual hardcover set. The hardcovers are a good ... Read More

Lord of the Rings Review
In this epic trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien, you will be mystified by the great battles and conflicts of the Lord of the Rings. The genius who wrote these books was so thorough that he even made a whole alphabet and language with vividly descriptive maps to describe all the creatures and areas of Middle Earth. This trilogy is so great in description that it will change how you judge other epic series such as the "Chronicles of Narnia". If you think that you might not be ready ... Read More

Obviously I knew buying used books would have some wear. This set was supposibly in 'good conditon'. When recieved product there was a huge coffee stain on one book, old reciepts and role playing cards stuck in between tons of the pages in all 3 of the books. A little disappointed and mislead by the seller. Will not purchase from them again.
