Make room in your beach bag for this great summer read

Immerse yourself in Middle-earth with J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic masterpieces behind the films, in this gorgeous pocket-sized, leatherette-bound box set—the perfect gift for Lord of the Rings devotees.

This four-volume, pocket-sized boxe set contains Tolkien's epic works The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the RingThe Two Towers, and The Return of the King). The set comes shrink-wrapped with all four books in a leatherette-bound box with gold foil stamping; each book features a leatherette cover with stamped title and their compact size (4 1/4" x 5 7/8") makes them perfect to carry anywhere. 

In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

Tolkien's epic tales are at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale—a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth.

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024
These incredible stories were well worth the purchase on their own, but this beautiful box set with intricate illustrations by the talented Alan Lee is one bookish purchase I have absolutely no regrets about splurging on.

CONTENT
There's probably not all that much that hasn't already been said about these books. I guess I will just state that these stories are very special to me and it's taken me far too long to reread them. When I first read these back in High School, I fell in love instantly with The Hobbit and really enjoyed The Lord of The Rings, but I had to get used to how different it was from the Peter Jackson films and I was not prepared for the infamous Tom Bombadil. That said, these stories have stuck with me for a long time and I got so much more out of them upon a reread. The tender way that characters interact with each other, the cozy moments, the intricately crafted lore, the fascinating creatures/peoples of Middle Earth, the rich prose, and all the adventuring in between culminates into what I think is a truly unique and delightful experience. It's true that these books don't really have exciting battle sequences in the same way that the film adaptations or even more modern epic fantasy books do, but the way the conflicts are depicted was still better than I remembered it being. I do think it's important to go in with the lens that this is as much a piece of classical literature as it is a fantasy and it is foundational in many ways to fantasy as we know it today, but it also remains wholly unique in it's own way and I really don't think there will ever be anything written that's quite like it.

HARDCOVER QUALITY
The main reason I wanted to write a review is to specifically talk about the quality of this hardcover box set. To address the obvious, yes, this is a costly purchase. The way I justified things in my own head is that if you divide the cost by four different special edition hardcovers, then it wasn't such an unreasonable cost per book. I will also say that I have no buyer's remorse with this. Each of the books is well constructed with sturdy covers that sport a classically simple and understated design with the cover being a solid color and the title lettering set into it. The paper quality of the pages is amazing. The pages are so thick and the font/formatting is all very comfortably laid out. One of the main highlights of this edition is, of course, the illustrations done by Alan Lee. The Hobbit is easily the nicest of the books in terms of the number of images it contains. In addition to the variety of illustration plates that can be found across all of the titles, The Hobbit also includes a variety of pencil-style sketch illustrations that add a really nice extra layer of flare to the start or end of a chapter that I was a little sad didn't continue into The Lord of the Rings. I was glad that the style and subjects of the illustration weren't trying to be specifically reminiscent of the Jackson films. Instead, I felt like the art style was very appropriate to the overall feel of the prose and there are some absolutely breathtaking pieces, especially when it comes to the landscapes. Lee can do characters really well too, but I felt as though the environments were where he tended to shine. One complaint I do have with these books is that the publisher seemingly skimped on the material quality for the dust jackets. Personally, I typically take the jackets off when I'm reading just because I find them inconvenient, but for those that don't, you will definitely want to consider it if you end up getting this set. I didn't actually damage mine at all, but they felt flimsy to the touch and it almost seemed like the gorgeous designs were just printed on a regular sheet of paper as opposed to having some kind of lamination to strengthen it or just being printed on a better material. With the rest of the book construction being so wonderfully done, it's a shame this one detail wasn't handled a bit better. What I found to be surprisingly high quality though was the slip case that this set came in. It's made from sturdy materials and sources art from the beautiful jackets that wrap around the back and sides.

CONCLUSION
If you are a fan of these books and have been looking for a nice edition to add to your collection, then this may well be the one for you, provided it's price tag doesn't break the bank. My experience reading through them was a delight and I am quite happy to have the set on my shelves. If you are new to the world of Tolkien, then these would certainly make for a luxurious first reading experience, but I'd never recommend anyone drop this kind of money on something they haven't read or aren't guaranteed to love.

(+) Price point is high, but not unreasonable on a book-by-book basis
(+) Thick paper and premium interior formatting
(+) A slipcase that is as sturdy as it is beautiful
(+) Gorgeous artwork on the dust jackets / slip case, book plates, and the sketches that The Hobbit contains
(+) A classic story that means a lot to me and was even more enjoyable upon a reread
(-) Flimsy dust jackets should have been made out of better materials

These are so cute.
I recently bought a set of Lord of the Rings books as a gift for my husband, and I’ve got to say, I’m really happy with them. First off, the books are smaller than I expected. I thought they'd be bigger, but it's actually kind of nice because they’re super portable. The leather covers are gorgeous and give the books a classy, vintage feel. They look great on our bookshelf and feel really nice to hold. The quality is top-notch. The binding is solid and the pages are good quality. These books are definitely built to last. The only downside is the small print. The letters are pretty tiny, so if you struggle with small text, that could be an issue. But if your eyesight is fine, it shouldn’t be a big deal. As a gift, these books were perfect. My husband loves the Lord of the Rings series, and he was so surprised and excited when he opened them. He said it was a really fun and thoughtful present, and he was thrilled.

This was way smaller than I was expecting, but perfect for a back pocket or a bag. Font size is great and not uncomfortable to read for me. Binding was way better than I was expecting and seems like it will travel well and will last for a long time. It is missing a book mark ribbon that I was expecting in this style of book. All in all one of the best quality of book I think I own, looks great, travels well, and one of the best series ever written.

Great books to easily carry around in your purse to read at a coffee shop or at a park somewhere. I love the texture of the book covers, it makes them fun to hold in your hand. The pages are pretty thin, not quite Bible page thin but noticeably thinner than most books you're used to. Font size is pretty small. I don't mind it but I can definitely see folks having a hard time straining if they sit reading this in long stretches.

Overall, happy with the purchase. Looks great on my bookshelf too.

I am somewhat disappointed with this book set. The books are rather small, but about the overall size of the set I bought in paperback around 1980. The leatherette of the case and bindings is supple and pleasant feeling. The type is quite small, but the printing clarity and contrast are quite good. In good light with the proper glasses these are easy to read. In dimmer light, I struggle. The item description includes the physical size of the books, but does not mention that the capital letters of the text is only about 5/64ths of an inch. Similar sized books in my library all have text that is 30% to 50% larger and are definitely easier on the eyes even with lower overall printing and paper quality. At 1100 pages for the trilogy plus 300 for The Hobbit, I expect to struggle reading through this set in any time frame that doesn't stretch to years.

Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2024
Specifically, this is about the leatherette bound pocket-sized Special Edition, as I've noticed that some reviews overlap between different editions.

This is not a review of the story. Anyone considering buying this version either doesn't need my review of the books or should search the internet for the millions of existing reviews; it's enough for me to just say that there's a reason this is one of the most famous fantasy series of all time for good reason.

This printing/binding is exactly what I was hoping for. The books are very beautiful in a simple way. The covers are in fact floppy fake leather, not leather-covered hardbacks. They are very soft and pliable, smooth and with a nice thick and creamy paper. The font is very small but clear and bold, perfectly legible if you don't have problems reading up close. The maps are as good as they can be being so tiny, and some details are lost.

This is a set that will look great on the shelf. No gold leaf or anything to really pop out, but their small size and subdued covers that look like they could have been printed decades ago add a certain charm. The size and light weight make them perfect books to read on the go, and people will be curious about what you're reading because of how they look.

Il cofanetto e il suo contenuto sono di ottima qualità. Unica pecca di questa stupenda edizione in lingua originale sono le sovraccoperte che, per quanto bellissime, sono facili a rovinarsi con l’uso. Meglio quindi rimuoverle durante la lettura. Le illustrazioni a colori all’interno dei volumi sono stampate su carta bianca, a differenza di quella più giallina per i testi, il che aiuta a restituire una colorazione più fedele. Le copertine e i nastri segnalibro in stoffa sono rispettivamente verdi per Lo Hobbit e rossi per i tre volumi del Signore degli Anelli.
Il maggior problema riscontrato all’acquisto è stato che il primo cofanetto ricevuto (quello nelle foto è il secondo) è arrivato danneggiato con la scatola esterna rotta e i quattro libri ammaccati sul fondo dei dorsi; questo dovuto all’insufficiente imballaggio impiegato: un poco di pluriball da un lato e un foglio di carta dall’altro. Dopo aver effettuato un cambio ho avuto più fortuna e il secondo cofanetto è giunto in condizioni quasi perfette con un solo spigolo lievemente ammaccato, quasi invisibile all’occhio che non va ricercando difetti.
