Purchase options and add-ons

Sauron has returned. . . watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 on Prime Video.

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the J. R. R. Tolkien's classic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, gorgeously illustrated throughout in color by the author himself and with the complete text printed in two colors, plus sprayed edges and a ribbon bookmark.

Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivaled magic and otherworldliness, Tolkien's sweeping fantasy and epic adventure has touched the hearts of young and old alike. 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.

This one-volume, jacketed hardcover edition contains the complete text, fully corrected and reset, which is printed in red and black and features, for the very first time, thirty color illustrations, maps and sketches drawn by Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work. These include the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, marvelous facsimiles created by Tolkien to accompany the famous ‘Bridge of Khazad-dum’ chapter. Also appearing are two removable fold-out maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien revealing all the detail of Middle-earth.

Sympathetically packaged to reflect the classic look of the first edition, this new edition of the bestselling hardback will prove irresistible to collectors and new fans alike.

Good Content, Lacking in Quality in a few points
First, the shipping and condition of the book at arrival. I'm pleased enough. It was mailed with other items I ordered in a box, which leads me to believe that luck played a part in keeping my book in good condition.The book came shrinkwrapped, with thankfully no damage at all. The dust jacket is like a thinner cardstock, does not feel durable at all. It's literally like a piece of paper...not too happy with that. It has a matte finish too, so you're not going to be able to do any spot cleaning like you would with a glossy or coated paper.They also decided to include maps...one in at the front cover and the other at the back cover. It's a nice thought, but the execution falls flat. The first map an earlier sketch of the world, and the second being the finalized one you've come to know. However, they aren't attached to the book. It's just a piece of folded paper slipped in there.The contents of the book; obviously there's the LOTR story. It also includes illustrations/sketches Tolkien made as he was writing the book. It looks like there are 32 of these. It included the massive appendix that wasn't included in many of the publications due to cost.I don't regret my purchase, I just think that it's lacking in quality in several points. But, the content is why I bought the book. I love the inclusion of Tolkiens illustrations and the appendix, plus the note about the illustrations that goes on for several pages.I bought this as a Father's Day gift for my husband's first Father's Day, thinking he will read them to our child and hopefully get them into Tolkien and the fantasy genre also.

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
If you're a Tolkien fan, as I am, this is the definitive Lord of the Rings compendium to have! The bicolor text is absolutely beautiful, with chapter titles printed in a vibrant crimson. The book includes a glossy, printed map of Middle Earth in red and black ink folded into the front of the book, and original sketches throughout the text by J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The cover is beautifully minimalistic, only showing the glowing eye of Sauron, which the dust jacket is designed to showcase via a strategically positioned hole. The dust jacket itself is perfectly designed to highlight the gold and red leafing on the page edges.

When on sale, this is an unbeatable deal. If you love the Tolkien Legendarium, don't hesitate; just buy this book!

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023
First: the headline does NOT refer to the time this particular item took to get here once ordered. I refer to the fact that such an edition is long overdue. In the years between my first reading LotR, I have picked up various editions, including the Silver Anniversary and the single-volume, "red leather" edition, etc., as well as various books of Tolkien's art. It does add quite a new dimention to finally see the appropriate pieces of his art in their places with the narrative. That alone would make this a worthy addition to any Tolkien lover's library.

Beyond that, the physical production of the volume is a delight in itself. There are videos on Amazon which deal with those; and they can cover them much more eloquently than I. My one complaint is that I note a problem with the actual printing in a spot or two... the one which stands out is on p. 6 of the prologue, where a couple of lines are at points so faint that one is virtually missing, while the other is occasionally difficult to decipher. This is quite likely simply a problem in the manufacture which affected only a few copies, but it is a bit disappointing. The lines in question SHOULD read: (the problem portions in brackets): "[nothing] that lived, they were dougty at [bay,] and at need could still [handle arms. They shot well with a bow, for they were keen-eyed] and sure at the mark. Not only with bows and arrows. If any Hobbits stoop[ed for] a stone, it was well to get quickly under cover, as all trespassing beasts knew very well." A minor flaw for one with other copies of the book to refer to; but for someone owning ONLY this copy, it could be more than annoying.

I have not sat and read the novel (NOT "trilogy", which is a different thing) through, but this is the flaw which stands out most to me at this point.

Otherwise, I am very pleased with the copy I received, and consider it a valuable asset to my library. I look forward to the forthcoming edition of "The Hobbit" donein the same manner, as I also find the similar edition of "The Silmarillion" (a personal favorite of mine among Tolkien's writings) an exquisite piece of work.

I heartily endorse the publication of these volumes, as they do form a rich subset to be enjoyed on a variety of levels for those who value the man's writing; and, as someone who has not only read the major works dealing with Middle-earth (The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales) several times over, but also found the "History of Middle-earth" a fascinating experience, and has greatly enjoyed even the minor ventures into that realm, as well as a host of his other works, I feel I can certainly speak confidently in the matter. It is the culmination of a wish no few of us have had for some decades now -- at least since the original publication of "Pictures by J. R.R. Tolkien", if not earlier -- but it has proven well worth the wait.

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2024
The book itself is great; but the handling and packaging, not so much. I mean, it wasn't that bad, but it was packaged in a bag, not a box, so it got some small dents (though, you can barely see them) and the bottom and top at the spine were bent in ever so slightly; and the last thing was that looking at the eye in the hole, the eye was a little to the right, but not much of a big deal. I would still highly recommend it; although they need to package it with a small box, not bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars La mejor edición de un gran clásico
Reviewed in Mexico on December 25, 2021
Todos conocemos las virtudes de esta historia, así que me centraré sólo en la edición:
Esta nueva edición en inglés nos presenta 38 ilustraciones hechas por el mismísimo Tolkien durante el proceso de escritura de ESDLA, algunas terminadas y otras aún en boceto, pero la mayoría tienen mucho encanto.
Los cantos del libro están pintados en rojo, y en el costado están decorados con la inscripción del Anillo que ya todos conocemos.
La portada y el diseño del libro en sí es alusivo a la primera edición, y tiene la portada original salida en 1954 (aunque con sus actualizaciones).
El papel es muy bonito y suave al tacto.

En fin, es un libro que vale muchísimo la pena, y si puedes permitirte tenerlo en físico y apreciar con lujo de detalle no sólo la historia creada por Tolkien, sino también las ilustraciones que nos muestran mucho de la mente del autor, es una compra obligada para cualquier gran fan.

Lovely book, with some really nice illustrations. The external box looks a bit cheap but that's really the only criticism.
It's a chunky book with 1178 pages printed in black and red and includes two maps, one of Middle Earth and one of Gondor and Moria.
Lovely thing and worth the £46, in my opinion. Enjoy.
