The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary Edition

The first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, "The Fellowship of the Ring," reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." This crown jewel of our list is now available in a beautiful new one-volume collector's edition, befitting its stature.

Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later, this edition has been meticulously crafted to meet the author's exacting wishes. Christopher Tolkien has supervised the text to ensure its full correction, and the result is a work of exceptional quality.

The packaging of this edition is equally impressive. It features two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, and a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul. The overall packaging is exceptionally elegant and sturdy, housed within an attractive slipcase.

This edition is the finest we've ever produced, combining the timeless storytelling of Tolkien's masterpiece with a level of attention to detail and craftsmanship that truly does justice to the work. Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering the series for the first time, this collector's edition is a must-have for any lover of great literature.
