The Lord of the Rings Illustrated (Tolkien Illustrated Editions) Hardcover – Illustrated, November 16, 2021
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.

When on sale, this is an unbeatable deal. If you love the Tolkien Legendarium, don't hesitate; just buy this book!
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 Brazil on December 12, 2023
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.

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.
