Book Synopsis
The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, first reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collector's edition befitting the stature of this crown jewel of our list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author's exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the finest we've ever produced.

Product Description:
Published in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the publication of the Lord of the Rings, this edition has a "fully corrected" text (who knew there have been countless errors in the LOTR publications?) as well as an extensive new index. Otherwise, it's as you would expect the combined, unabridged versions of The Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Appendices include information on characters, family trees, calendars, and maps (among others). 1187 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them" so begins Tolkien's massive, wonderful tale of the fight against good and evil. I was quite surprised to learn that The Lord of the Rings is technically not a trilogy. It is one novel, made of 6 parts typically printed in 3 volumes for manageability and ease in reading.

Excellent Epic Edition
The font is an excellent size and type and is printed on paper that feels luxurious under fingers. I highly recommend this edition with its appendices and pronunciation guide. Of course, not enough praise can be given the author for his delightfully inspirational epic.
