About this product

Product Information

This special 50th anniversary hardback edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic masterpiece includes the complete revised and reset text, two-fold out maps printed in red and black and, unique to this edition, a full-colour fold-out reproduction of Tolkien's own facsimile pages from the Book of Mazarbul that the Fellowship discover in Moria. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy and epic adventure has touched the hearts of young and old alike. Over 100 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 hardback edition contains the complete text, fully corrected and reset, and features for the very first time the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, illustrations done by Tolkien and intended for inclusion in the famous 'Bridge of Khazad-dum' chapter. Also appearing are previously unpublished family trees and two, full-size fold-out maps. Sympathetically packaged to reflect the classic look of the original, this revised edition of the bestselling hardback will prove irresistible to collectors and new fans alike.

  • One of the best Lord of the Rings editon!

    The Lord of the Rings is in itself a very fascinating and great book to read, it's story is awesome and entertaining. This book is a very nice edition of The Lord of the Rings. It both feels good when reading and also looks good when it's on the shelf. If you like The Lord of the Rings, then the Deluxe Edition is absolutely the best edition to get. Other deluxe editions of Tolkien's work come with same size and similar design which makes these editions very attractive for collection.

  • A great way to own The Lord of The Rings.

    This is a Christmas gift but it is a quality piece that will be cherished, it's just a really nice way to own this Legendary work, it's different and feels special and makes you feel special. If you like L. O. T. R this is a really nice way to own it.

  • Amazing book.

    I love Hardbacks, and this was a nice addition to my collection. JRR Tolkien was and is the most brilliant author, so to have the Lord Of The Rings in my collection is amazing.

  • Beautiful book, high quality

    Amazing quality book. I had bought a new paper box set version of this book (from a different company) for my daughter and the pages started to fall out as she was reading it. I wanted a beautiful book that she could treasure and this is it .

  • A classis good read, exceptionally well written by a master story teller.

    A good read for those that like fairy tales for groneups, the book itself is better in 3 volumes rather than one bulky book. Watch the films after reading the book, as you build up your own minds eye characters reading the book.

  • Gorgeous edition

    So delighted with this beautiful book. I have read Lord of the Rings many times but having the lovely illustrations has made the read even better. The paper is lovely too. It is a very heavy book which may be an issue for some, but this hasn’t affected my enjoyment 😃

  • Amazing!!!

    I already have the original illustrated edition but wanted one to be read. I'd not read the book for about 7 or 8 years and wanted to do it again "properly". Upon arrival and through reading I found this copy to be very durable, heavy although it can't be helped and beautifully made. I'd recommend to anyone for this steal of a price!!!
