For devoted fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary Lord of the Rings trilogy, Amazon is offering a spectacular deal: a stunning, full-color, illustrated hardcover box set is on sale for $168.84—a new all-time low, according to CamelCamelCamel. While not exactly pocket change, it's a significant discount from the $325 MSRP. This deluxe slipcased set features the artistry of Alan Lee, whose illustrations significantly influenced Peter Jackson's film adaptations. The three high-quality hardcovers boast over 50 full-page color paintings and numerous pencil drawings by Lee. This revised edition includes new cover art, paintings, and over 50 new pencil drawings. The set also includes three removable art cards and two foldout maps of Middle-earth, drawn by Christopher Tolkien.
This edition boasts several new features, including sprayed edges on all three books and a custom-built, illustrated slipcase stamped with silver foil. The overall design is breathtaking. While ideally suited for collectors and ardent LotR enthusiasts, this exquisitely crafted set is a worthwhile investment for any Tolkien aficionado who can afford it, especially at this record-low price.
