Product Description

Synopsis

A one-off commemorative edition celebrating THE BOOK OF THE CENTURY, complete with a free CD of J.R.R. Tolkien reading excerpts from the work For the first and last time, The Lord of the Rings is presented in seven volumes, one for each of its six parts plus a seventh volume of appendices. Originally intended by J.R.R. Tolkien for publication as a single volume, The Lord of the Rings grew in the telling such that its publishers had to split it into three volumes for the sake of both convenience and economy. But Tolkien wrote his epic fantasy as a work of six books, plus a series of appendices, and now the work is finally published as the author intended. This is a slipcase set of small hardbacks, bound in black covers with the distinctive Eye of Sauron (from the original jacket design) embossed in red and gold on each copy. For the first time ever, each book bears Tolkien's original title, and has been specially typeset for this edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Presentation Box Set Of The Best Story Ever, 31 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This box set, released and distributed as Tolkien intended for the first time, is the best I have seen and owned. This TLOTR Milliennium Edition and the CD of JRR reciting his own writings is a real bonus for any collection. When I first read the advertisement on the Amazon Web Site, I thought the price would be astronomoical, but it is so cheap, every TLOTR fan should own this.

Rating (Out of 5 Stars): 7 at least !

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 11 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Once I started reading this book it was very hard putting it down. The whole world that Tolkien creates is so believable and in so much detail. Easily the best book I have ever read. This book is a must. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not much else I can say..., 17 Mar 2000
By A Customer
The book is a classic, no arguements there. This edition is also excellent, nice to look at, and with the bonus of a CD of Tolkien himself reading pieces from the saga. If not a must for everyone, a must for all fans.
