The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition) Hardcover – October 21, 2004
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.
