I chose the exact same editions. The Lord of the Rings collection is my absolute favourite. The fact that they all have the minimalistic design on the hardcovers is great as well.
Gorgeous collection, I love the original trilogy with Tolkien's book covers, unfortunately I only have the Two Towers and RoTK with such cover art. Tales from the Perilous Realm seems like such a good looking book as well.
the publisher was actually very capable of doing a 1-volume release, but the book would have been too large/thick, and the smaller books would be more appealing to try to read for consumers. So the entire choice of the seperation of 3 volumets was forced on Tolkien completely due to publisher 'preference'
One question about the illustrated editions. Are they the same height? Because from the video some seem a bit taller, I don’t if the dust jacket is upwards or if it is indeed taller.
I´m sorry bro but your collection is almost screaming "Steal me!" at me. How much did that cost you? I live in México so for that kind of collection I would need to donate a kidney.

Beautiful covers.
I find this very calming and caring

I’ve considered reading the lotr I’d probably get the 1 volume like the complete book, maybe one day
That's awesome

They are the same height. The LotR boxset looks slightly taller in the box.
Good video and collection. Did you buy those book stoppers on Amazon? They seem awesome
No. They came with the Fellowship of the Ring extended edition DVDs in 2002.
Nice video.
Thanks.
This video called me broke in many languages
I'm trying to find this version of The Silmarillian you have here and cannot find it :(
It doesn't seem to be available at the moment. But keep an eye out, I think they come back in stock every now and then.
That symbol at the top of each spine, does it have a name/meaning?
It's J.R.R. Tolien's initials.
No farmer giles of ham… you are suspect sir 😉
"Farmer Giles of Ham" is included in "Tales from the Perilous Realm". Watch out for an upcoming review. 🙂
Your voice reminds me of James Corden.
I'm not sure how to take that.

Good thing you don't know where I live.😉 I didn't buy them all at once. It took quite a while and saving to get them all.
