Lord Of The Rings Boxed Set

This is a beautiful set. The Lord of the Rings here is split into three books, making it easier to read. The drawings on the dust jackets are what Tolkien wanted for them himself- drawn by him, too. The colors compliment each other wonderfully and give each book vividness. The paper quality is very good, very smooth- these books are HEAVY for their size. Paper thickness feels average for the main series, but it is thinner for the companion book. The type is average size, and very readable. Sewn binding, too, which a story of this caliber deserves. The box is of sound construction. The companion is a wonderful bonus. The $70 I paid for this set is well worth it to me, because it was obviously constructed with care, love, and quality.

This Christmas, we decided to gift our teenage daughter the Lord of the Rings Boxed Set, and it turned out to be a hit that went beyond our expectations. As parents, we were looking for something special that could offer her more than just momentary entertainment - something that would ignite her imagination, challenge her, and introduce her to the rich landscapes of literature. This set did just that and more. From the moment she opened it, the quality of the boxed set impressed us all. The craftsmanship of the box and the presentation of the books themselves are exceptional, making it a beautiful collection that she was excited to dive into. As she delved into Middle-earth, we saw her enthusiasm for reading rekindled. It's been a joy to watch her immerse herself in the adventures, the lore, and the profound themes that J.R.R. Tolkien masterfully weaves throughout his work. This gift wasn't just a success for its entertainment value; it has been a meaningful addition to her personal library, one that encourages her love for reading and sparks discussions about the story's depth and intricacies. For any parent looking to gift their teenager something memorable and enriching, this boxed set is a treasure.

5 stars wow im so amazed this is a good product and is well worth my money.

So, I had been considering this purchase for quite a while. I had the big red single-volume version of the trilogy I got as a gift 35 years ago, and which remains a treasured part of my library. However, I want to re-read Lord of the Rings and this time I wanted individual volumes. I settled on this set for several reasons: updated version of the texts, I like the dustjacket artwork (by Tolkien himself), and the reader's companion is a nice bonus. What I was completely surprised by was the high quality of this set. These binding are all nice and tight, and appear to be sewn. The boards are covered in a nice textured paper, not the smooth covering typical of a book club edition. The last new Tolkien book I bought was the standard edition of the Nature of Middle Earth last year. What I am getting at is these book are much nicer than that, in my opinion. The set I got was bound in Italy, as opposed to the China, where even some of the reprints of the slipcased Deluxe editions of other Tolkien works are bound. One reviewed felt the paper was thin, but I disagree. It is thin enough to keep the size of the volumes manageable, but not so thin that I could see through the page when reading it. The dustjackets are high quality as well, paper but backed on the inside by some kind of film that adds strength. The slipcase has a nice fit, but these was enough room to accomodate Brodart dustjacket protectors on each of the four dustjackets.

This is my first time reading LOTR and I’m nearly halfway through book one after finish The Hobbit over the past few weeks (75th anniversary edition which I also recommend). The quality of these books is really excellent! They have a heft and obviously next level build in construction and materials that is obvious upon handling them. I can see what someone else mentioned about thin pages and concern about ripping them unintentionally, and it is true that they are a bit more thin than the 75th anniversary The Hobbit book but that is not to say that the pages are poor quality thin or extremely thin (like my hardcover Dickens and Brontë sisters collection I would characterize as quite thin), they just aren’t super thick pages either, if that makes sense or helps? Anyway, I highly recommend this as a top quality set for yourself or any confirmed or potential Tolkien fan.

Small font and narrow spacing. Harder to read for older eyes.

Nicely packaged set. A present for my granddaughter to read. She loves the set. I love it when she reads! (of course, there is a cash bonus in it for her but I don't care as long as she reads!)

Fantastic edition, looks amazing. Books have held up well for 10 years now.

De set is met zorg gemaakt pure genot om te zien en om te lezen

Simplesmente um box magnífico. Venho namorando esse box há bastante tempo apesar de já possuir a edição volume único ilustrada por Alan Lee que também é um deleite. Adquiri esse box por uma promoção relâmpago aqui da Amazon que apesar de ainda ter sido por um valor considerável, valeu cada centavo! O box em si veio em excelentes condições exceto por algumas manchas que acredito serem removíveis com um pano úmido de microfriba, alguns dos livros trazem vieram com leves dobras nas extremidades das lombadas, mas nenhum tipo de dano ou avaria que pareça ter sido ocasionado por queda ou dano severo. Por mais que detalhes assim sejam um pouco frustrantes pra quem é colecionador, de forma alguma são pertinentes, acredito que a maioria venha assim mesmo. Estou muito satisfeito com a compra e com a aquisição, meus parabéns a Amazon pelo cuidado e pela rapidez na entrega!

Was excited to buy this box set. But the box containing the books seems very fragile and delicate. Nothing I do could prevent it from tearing 😩

If you've ever dreamed of spending an entire weekend with hobbits, elves, and a very confused wizard, all while navigating some serious unspoken tension between Middle-earth’s most unlikely romance candidates and marveling at a dwarf who treats his axe like an extension of his arm, then The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set is your ultimate ticket to a fantastical soap opera with a side of heavy weaponry. This boxed set is like the ultimate Middle-earth vacation package. It kicks off with "The Fellowship of the Ring," where you meet Frodo, a hobbit with a penchant for attracting trouble and carrying burdens—both literal and metaphorical. Enter Merry and Pippin, whose playful banter hides a tension so thick it could be cut with a sword, or at least a well-placed piece of lembas bread. They may be sharing stolen glances while discussing the finer points of pipeweed, but let’s be real: the real drama here is their unsaid feelings. Then there's Gimli, the dwarf with an axe so large it’s basically a portable siege weapon. His love for his axe is both a marvel and a comedic highlight. It’s as if the only thing more deeply personal than his axe is his unyielding sense of dwarf pride. Watching him wield that thing, you can't help but think it's the ultimate "man with a plan" scenario, except his plan is always to smash everything in sight. By the time you get to "The Two Towers," the tension between Merry and Pippin heats up as they bond over ent-versations and epic escape maneuvers, all while Gimli's axe gets its own subplot. Seriously, it’s practically a character in its own right, with its frequent appearances and the way Gimli treats it like a prized possession—or a beloved pet. You half-expect him to start whispering sweet nothings to it in the middle of battle. In "The Return of the King," the stakes are high and so is the drama. Merry and Pippin’s dynamic could give any soap opera a run for its money, and Gimli’s axe is still center stage, helping him win battles and deliver one-liners that prove his weapon isn’t the only thing with a sharp edge. In summary, The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set is an epic saga where the battles are as fierce as the unspoken tension between hobbits and the love for an oversized axe. It’s a rollicking ride through Middle-earth where the only thing more intense than the conflicts are the underlying romantic subplots and the comedic brilliance of a dwarf and his beloved weapon. So, grab your snacks, settle in, and enjoy a journey where epic fantasy meets unforgettable, weapon-wielding humor.
