A Must have collection

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 3 February 2023

Verified Purchase

Though I had read all the four books, I wanted it to be a must have collection on my book shelf. The outer packaging is hard paper, but it will do. The font size is a bit small, but not too hard that you cannot read it. Tolkien lore is a must have in anyone's bookshelf. Pictures attached.

The packaging was well and the books weren't torn or anything. The binding is good and considering the price, the page quality isn't bad either. I haven't read the books yet but I know they will be awesome.

PS: This edition doesn't have the best maps so they might not be good for you if you want detailed and big maps.

A fictional writing that is overwhelming and realistic.

Came to know about it after watching Peter Jackson's trilogy film on this amazing book by J.R.R Tolkein a decade ago and the Hobbit recently and was curious to read these books. A mind-blowing fictional writing which overtake the reality and it is surreal. A book that makes its reader's keep on turning the pages.

Best Tolkien Box Set

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 May 2022

Verified Purchase

This is quite simply the best box set of Tolkien’s work that I have. To be clear, I have many different copies of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (LOTR), including the Folio Society editions from the eighties. I also have the Harper Collins Deluxe edition box set of The Hobbit, LOTR (50th Anniversary), The Silmarillion and The Children of Hurin; the LOTR 60th anniversary single volume hardback edition illustrated by Alan Lee in a blue binder; the Deluxe LOTR Indian Paper single volume edition; The Hobbit illustrated by Jemima Catlin in a lovely cloth green hardback edition (this is actually my favourite edition of The Hobbit next to Alan Lee, with really good quality binding, paper and text font).

With all that said, I like to think that I can offer a realistic opinion of this new box set from Harper Collins (with the latest updated text and illustrated by Alan Lee). If you are lucky to receive a set that is undamaged and in perfect condition (there have been reviews about poor packaging and damaged items), then this set is top notch both from the viewpoint of displaying the set and for the more important viewpoint of actually reading the volumes rather than leaving them to look pretty on your book shelf.

So, why is this set so good, especially as I am reviewing these after the Folio Society has just released a limited edition of the LOTR with the same updated text and the same illustrations (apart from a handful of new illustrations) costing £1000!!! The new Folio Society set is obviously good, but I actually think that the books they have produced are simply too large and heavy (12” high) and way over priced even by Folio Society standards. This has only reinforced my opinion on how good this set is, and not just because of the price difference.

Firstly, I would like to address some reviews criticising the dust Jackets. I agree that they might have been better in a thicker glossy paper, but they are perfectly acceptable to me. I say this as the inner binding covers are top quality and very robust, such that I have read all four volumes without the dust jacket (leaving it in the box set in the place of the actual volume) and none of them have a blemish in sight. Also, by removing the dust jacket for reading it makes it more enjoyable without having to worry about the dust jacket sliding up or coming loose (or becoming worn or torn). Also, if you want to reference the maps on the end-papers when reading, it is so much easier without the dust jacket getting in the way. I also think the illustrations look better without glossy paper (as they are water colours anyway), and I think this also applies to the illustrations within the books. Also, after reading the entire box set it still looks brand new!

The quality of the paper in these books is excellent. Compared to the previous box set from Harper Collins (LOTR in three volumes + LOTR Readers Companion) the paper is twice as thick and very good quality. If you compare The Two Towers between the two sets, this new illustrated volume is twice the depth with the added benefit of NOT being able to see a faint outline of text from the page on the other side. The text font is also a good size and combined with the colour of the paper (not over-white), it makes for very easy and enjoyable reading.

I have already mentioned the good quality of the book bindings, which have some nice touches. The Hobbit is a nice deeper shade of green, and the 3 volumes of LOTR are a red maroon – very nice and all combined with good quality gold printing on the spine. The spine top and bottom have matching colour head bands, and all volumes have matching ribbon book markers. These books also have stitched bindings that make them fall open easy and lay flat without having to force them. If reading on a book rest, like me, then they sit perfectly (much like Folio Society books).

A good tip (before reading the book) for stitched bindings like these is to lay it open with the front and back boards laying flat on a flat clean surface (remove dust jacket first), while holding the pages of the book upright. Now proceed by alternating between the front and the back of the book and take about ten pages and push it flat onto the back/front boards until you eventually get to the middle and you have one half of the book laying on each of the end-boards – this basically loosens the binding without any fear of damage, and enables it to sit open a little easier even though it has yet to be read (phew! Hope that makes sense).

I have mentioned the nice font size, which is complemented by matching colour text (to the binding) – green for The Hobbit and red for LOTR – for chapter headings (including the first capital letter of the chapter text), header titles and page numbering. On page numbering, this set is unique I think whereby the page numbering in the three volumes of the LOTR continues where it left off from the previous volume – this makes sense as the LOTR is one book published in three volumes.

Having the latest updated text is a bonus, albeit most of the changes are grammatical or upper v lower case. There are some changes that are worth having, though, like time scales and distances. Alan Lee’s illustrations are a brilliant edition in both The Hobbit and the LOTR, and I think they are perfectly fine even though they are not on glossy paper. However, if like me you have other Alan Lee editions of these books that have the larger glossy illustrations then you can simply look at those at your leisure.

All of the above combines with a lovely robust illustrated box-set slipcase, also illustrated by Alan Lee, and that the four volumes slide in and out perfectly fine even after reading all four volumes (unlike some box sets – Harry Potter comes to mind where they get jammed in after reading because they are not stitched bindings even though they are hardcover).

If you are a fan of Tolkien, or even if you haven’t read these yet, then do not hesitate and buy this wonderful box set both for visual display and for the pleasure of multiple readings.

Books excellent (of course) - after replacement set sent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 July 2020

Verified Purchase

A beautiful set to add to my collection. Unlike previous illustrated LOTR/Hobbit books I own - the paper used is standard non-glossy paper, which is actually a nice change.
This set is a replacement set I received, and although now happy, it is more by luck than design. The packaging Amazon send large books out in - a flimsy single-wall box with minimal packing inside (a piece of brown paper). The first set that was sent was obviously a return - as there was no cellophane covering (ie: unsealed) and the box holding the books was completely split open. I did upload photos, but decided to remove as although I was very angry receiving the first set in such a state (didn't Amazon used to be a bookshop?) this review is about the books. Again, they are excellent and get 5*, but Amazon get 1* for their shoddy service in this case.

A MUST FOR ANY TOLKIEN FAN

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 July 2020

This was probably the priciest book purchase I’ve ever made. However, as a Tolkien fan, I just had to have it. The book set just oozes with quality. They are top quality hardbacks, which are beautifully illustrated. The book set is beautifully presented with a comfortable font size, & a marker ribbon to mark your page. YES it’s very pricy, however it’s worth every penny, & a total must for any Tolkien fan👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

For the money it is shocking build quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 30 August 2020

I hate the be the one that disagrees with the rest but my books and boxes are just falling apart. For the price this is just entirely unacceptable. If your looking for a bookshelf prop then this is for you... if your planning on reading then I think you’ll need a different set. The art work is nice and the only reason it is not a one star. They could have made something great. But two many corners have been cut.
