The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings

If you are going to buy any set for LOTR, let it be this one

Size is absolutely perfect and page quality is too good. Am so happy to have ordered this edition.

Gifted it to my husband who is an LoTR fan. He loved it! The binding is luxurious, we loved the small size and the print is good. It's so beautiful!

Thick paper, great illustration (could’ve been bit brighter print but hey it’s nice as it is). Best edition of the LOTR.

A must have collection of 4 books : The hobbit and 3 LOTR books. All hardcover illustrated editions with thick pages and excellent print quality. Beautifully packaged books with a hardcover case to keep. Each chapter inside all the books has a coloured heading. All the books have great looking maps. And then comes the most special thing!!!!!!! The best ever illustrations by the master “Alan Lee”. I’m thrilled to have this edition and can’t wait to read it once again!!!! So it begins!!!!!!

The slipcase was a bit damaged , though I fixed it with glue. That's why I gave it 4 star but otherwise the set is so damn gorgeous. I was waiting to get my hands on it for a long time and now I got it. All the 4 books are in brand new condition. I couldn't expect more with J.R.R Tolkien's creation and Alam Lee's illustrations.

Wow! just wow! The quality is multi fold in this bookset. Just to be clear this is the Illustrated Edition by Harpercollins. Paper quality is so good, I have never seen such high quality paper in a book before. The hardcover binding is also top notch. all this with Alan Lee's immersive and magnificent illustrations make it a perfect way to get lost in the fantasy world of Tolkien.

The book quality is exquisite. The cover is beautiful and sturdy. Pages are as thick as bond paper and the printing quality is top class. Entirely satisfied with the purchase! And I don't thing I have to review the story. After all, it's The Lord of The "Books".

Exactly what I want. Need to pay attention on size before buying, because someone can be surprised that it small. But I love it!!! Like a pocket edition for traveling and really great design to decorate a table!

I haven't bought a paper book, let alone a hardcover book, since I got my first Kindle more than 15 years ago. Not until I decided to buy this box set. And it was worth it, and more. My order arrived this afternoon and the packaging by Amazon was perfect, the books were well protected and had no damage. The quality of the books is just outstanding, fantastic covers, great paper, nice font type and size. I'm not reviewing the writing of the books, after all most of those whose planning to buy this set have already read the books earlier in some form. The first time I read these books was maybe more than 40 years ago. The packaging and the overall feel of these books is just phenomenal. Not only will it look good on any bookshelf, but it's something you can pass on to your children. The only teeny-weeny regret I have now is I ordered this last Saturday for € 93, and today they cost € 75. But then again that's the story of my life. So to those on the fence about buying this set, at € 75 this is bargain!

Esqueci de tirar foto pq foi presente, mas tomei um susto pelo tamanico do produto, depois eu vi que peguei a versão pocket kkkk Gente é minúsculo, quem enxerga mal não vai conseguir ler, mas a qualidade da capa e do produto são excelentes, é lindo até pra guardar na estante.

books are very nice quality, thick hardcover the hobbit in green, lotr in red. The books are heavy and the paper feels thick and high quality, print is good but on the small side images are awesome worth its price for sure, I even keep them without the cover art because i like the look of the red better

Specifically, this is about the leatherette bound pocket-sized Special Edition, as I've noticed that some reviews overlap between different editions. This is not a review of the story. Anyone considering buying this version either doesn't need my review of the books or should search the internet for the millions of existing reviews; it's enough for me to just say that there's a reason this is one of the most famous fantasy series of all time for good reason. This printing/binding is exactly what I was hoping for. The books are very beautiful in a simple way. The covers are in fact floppy fake leather, not leather-covered hardbacks. They are very soft and pliable, smooth and with a nice thick and creamy paper. The font is very small but clear and bold, perfectly legible if you don't have problems reading up close. The maps are as good as they can be being so tiny, and some details are lost. This is a set that will look great on the shelf. No gold leaf or anything to really pop out, but their small size and subdued covers that look like they could have been printed decades ago add a certain charm. The size and light weight make them perfect books to read on the go, and people will be curious about what you're reading because of how they look.
