The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set: Illustrated edition

Product Information

There's a tonne of extras including some maps of Middle Earth and Mordor, a fantastic "Kings Letter" from the rejected epilogue for the book and some pages from the Book of Mazarbul.

I’ve always loved LOTR artwork and have previously bought artwork books just to look at it with wonder in my eyes – and so this was a great purchase so I can see the artwork as I’m reading.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The bloodthirsty biographies of the world’s most infamous pirates are reproduced in this Folio edition of Captain Charles Johnson’s renowned work, including original woodcut illustrations and a fascinating introduction by Margarette Lincoln.

They're not thick like the illustrated collection but not thin enough that the pages appear transparent. We wish we could see all 57 openers for ourselves, but we’ll have to content ourselves with imaging the magic for now. Featuring ink-sprayed edges and two maps of Middle-earth, this special edition is illustrated throughout in colour by Tolkien himself.

Books have been my sanctuary, my escape, my salvation, and a dozen other life-changing and life-defining things since I was a teen. Like the One Ring, it compels touching, caressing, and endless, bitter glares from all those battered, trusted and much-thumbed older editions already sitting on the shelves, patiently waiting to be taken up again. Lee’s original illustrations have been reproduced to the artist’s exacting standards, in a scale and quality never seen before, and have been augmented by several entirely new images, including enchanting endpapers depicting the One Ring long before it came into Frodo’s possession, three frontispieces, two revised versions of existing illustrations, a new image titled ‘The Grey Havens’ and an exclusive giclée print. Featuring a fascinating introduction by Val McDermid and new illustrations by Juan Esteban Rodríguez, each copy has been signed by both the introducer and the illustrator. Boxed gift set of Tolkien’s classic masterpieces, fully illustrated throughout in watercolour by the acclaimed artist, Alan Lee.

Now, the new hardback editions of these beautifully illustrated works have been collected together into one boxed set of four books.

The Lord of the Rings movies have really set the tone for how many of us think about Tolkien’s work these days. I'm assuming everyone by now has a pretty good idea of what the book is about, so this review focuses on the look and feel of this edition.

This one-volume hardback edition contains the complete text, fully corrected and reset, which is printed in red and black and features, for the very first time, thirty colour illustrations, maps and sketches drawn by Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work.

More than 150 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world, and occasional collectors’ editions become prized and valuable items of publishing. I just think that The Shire and those rounded Hobbit doors are so synonymous with these books despite us not being in The Shire that long. Here’s what The Folio Society had to say about this incredible new set: The greatest classic of fantasy fiction and one of the most celebrated stories of all time, The Lord of the Rings defined a genre and created a world that inspires and enchants to this day.Well, what can I say… Thirty years later, I “swallowed” the trilogy in about a month – and it took me so long only because I was reading it during a very busy time and could dedicate to it only short moments before bedtime. Das Buch selbst ist zu einem viertel in rotem Leder gebunden der Rest des Einbands besteht aus einem schwarzen Leinen.
