  • This is the cheapest version you can get for the first 5 books of the History of Middle Earth. If you can get the UK books is much better.

    This is what you can get from EL REY. However I got them because of the price still I hope someday getting the UK books. The paper is cheap as you can imagine, very small fonts, the maps and drawings are ruin with this version but at least you can get all initial 5 books in this collection...
