The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Set: The Hobbit, the Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers, the Return of the King

All 4 volumes have been brought together in this fine boxed set by Harper Collins. The set comprises the paperback versions of the books in a cardboard slip case. Harper C has produced here a set befitting this magnificent epic, of outstanding print quality, perfectly textured and tinted paper, impeccably proofread, and held together with sturdy spines. The paper even has that wonderful antiquarian smell that lend the bibliophile that extra character to make the reading truly memorable and invested with nostalgia for subsequent reads. Vol 1 (The Hobbit) has several evocative illustrations and maps in black and white, that perfectly complement the storyline and timeline with their antiquarian woodcut engraved quality. The other 3 volumes unfortunately are devoid of any visuals. An excellent and affordable edition that you will enjoy several times over, and will display handsomely on your bookshelf. My set arrived in excellent, brand new, well packed, shrink wrapped condition in just 3 days.

I ordered this 75th Anniversary Special Edition solely because of the cover and box art. They are simply gorgeous! Though I already have the 2-part The Hobbit books and LOTR epubs (IYKWIM), something about this particular set just caught my eye. So, I chose next day delivery and received the books within 16 hours, so no issues there. I don't think these books themselves need any explaining; if you are a fan of this fantastical world, getting both the novels in the same set seems quite sensible. As for the boxed set itself, - The box is sturdy enough to handle the books provided you're not too harsh on it. Although it could've been slightly thicker to accommodate for the extra space the books occupy once they've all been read (books expand width-wise as they're read, duh). But up to now, this seems to the problem for all boxed sets I own. God my ASOIAF set is pitiful. - The product was well packed in a cardboard box but still one of the box set's corners was crushed and ultimately one of the books' too, though it's not too bad. - As I said, the art on the books is beautiful. Simplicity is something I admit I'm pretty biased about. Plus these arts were made by Tolkien himself. - The font size is pretty decent so reading the text isn't too strenuous for the eyes, unlike the maps, which are practically incomprehensible unless you possess the Byakugan or a magnifying glass. - Not to forget the intoxicating smell of freshly printed pages that takes you away every time you pick up a new book. All in all, this is a great deal and unless you don't mind some slightly crushed corners (which is virtually unavoidable what with all the shipping process) I'd greatly recommend it. 5/5

Ordered on: 28 november 2025 Price paid: ₹1639 Note: this is my first time buying fantasy books, and I'm writing my first review Ok, so the first looks on the packaging itself was not very satisfying as the books were packaged in only a paper cover which did not provide much protection to the book case, the packaging should've been in a cardboard box so the book case could've been better protected, I recieved the book case a bit torn on the edges. The case is also pretty flimsy, I thought It was like a hardcover it is my first time though, just thought I should let y'all know. Talking about the books: 1) The page quality is good, soft to touch not very yellowish. 2)The text size is quite comfortable to read in the hobbit but in the other books it is comparatively smaller. 3)The cover art is amazing, also just to let y'all know, the black details and the coloured highlights on the cover is some shiny smooth material. I will attach images of every book's cover and inside so y'all can get a better look before buying. So, Final Ratings: The books: 10/10 The book case: 7.5/10 Packaging: 4/10

I have read many fantasy and fiction books but tolkien always has a special place in my heart.the characters, the world building, the lore,trust me once you read lotr,every other book will feel inferior.

Its lotr, classic and great, the quality of the book is great and fresh.

I received completely the books and there is no fault in it. I'm fully satisfied with Amazon and delivery boy facility. And You should read these books, I do not boast that this is one of the best fiction book I have read.

Still haven't managed to finish the whole saga. Definitely worth a read. Like the art cover too.

Just to clarify, the series is indeed 5 stars. But, perhaps due to my own foolishness, i bought this set at 999rs, silently lauding my luck for catching such a great deal. But all that glitters is not gold, as we all know. These books were copies. Not very bad copies but copies nonetheless. The pages were coking apart at the seams and the writing was misaligned, slanted on some pages. Sometimes, it disappeared altogether.
