Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike, with one hundred and fifty million copies of its many editions sold around the world. In 2005 Tolkien’s text was fully restored – with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien – with almost 400 corrections, the original red and black maps as fold-out sheets, a fully revised and enlarged index, and for the first time a special plate section containing the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, making this set as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien intended. This Diamond Anniversary reissue of the prized boxed set marks 60 years since the first publication of The Fellowship of the Ring. These hardback editions feature Tolkien’s original unused dust-jacket designs from the 1950s, reworked for this edition, and some additional text corrections. The four-volume boxed set includes The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, a unique annotated guide to the text, fully updated since its first publication in 2005, and is a book which will enhance the reader's enjoyment and understanding of one of the most influential books of the 20th century.

All textual imperfections and errors finally ironed out. - Best edition I’ve owned. The quality of the text editing, paper, print setting, and binding are all excellent. At last all the printers’ errors are gone. Includes all the appendices. I can see it getting very well thumbed. Review: nice hardcover books - 3 LOTR books and a readers companion guide. No the hobbit book! - Beautiful hardcover books, it really like them and they feel quality - Just a word of note for people purchasing. This does NOT contain the hobbit book as it contains the 3 LOTR books and a readers companion. Saying that, all the information from the hobbit you need for reading these books is told in the prologue so it is possible to read without. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set: The Classic Bestselling Fantasy Novel - Product type: ABIS BOOK - Brand: HarperCollins ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 12,577 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 170 in Fantasy Anthologies (Books) 217 in TV, Movie, Game Adaptations 283 in Military Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,608 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set: The Classic Bestselling Fantasy Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m29vX9IKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best edition I’ve owned.
