About this product

Product Information

A one-volume collector's edition boxed and bound in handsome red leatherette with gold, green, and blue foil stamping, two-color text setting, and large format fold-out maps containing the complete texts of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, and six appendices. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. On his eleventy-first birthday Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest -- to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard, Merry, Pippin, and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

"A unique, wholly realized other world, evoked from deep in the well of Time, massively detailed, absorbingly entertaining, profound in meaning." The New York Times "So relevant to the actual human situation yet so free from allegory . . . What fine shading there is in the variations of style to meet the endless diversity of scenes and characters." -- C. S. Lewis "Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century." --- Sunday Telegraph, A unique, wholly realized other world, evoked from deep in the well of Time, massively detailed, absorbingly entertaining, profound in meaning., "So relevant to the actual human situation yet so free from allegory . . .

This seller is clearly on top of their game, as I was provided the definition of a "stress free" transaction. My package shipped out quickly, it arrived very well packed, and the item was exactly as described. I'd do business with this seller again, without any hesitation.

    lovely edition, small print

    this is a beautiful set which I think will hold up since my husband reads this about every other year. Note the print is very small.

  • Great Book!

    Purchased this copy for my husband. This is his third copy. We enjoyed the book so much we read ours until the jacket cover came loose from the binding.

  • Rings True!

    This classic is so much more than that. It is a world where good struggles to remain so, where hope it's hard to keep in hearts, where conflict is the lesson and all must struggle to fight for Right to win. That's the story. Wrapped in beautiful leather, containing a map, the story of the Rings is as breath taking as the binding.
