Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien Deluxe 50th Sealed Hardcover Gift Edition

Lord of the Rings Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition. This is a brand new Lord of the Rings Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition with slip-case and gold gilt by J. The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, first reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. 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 one of the finest ever produced.
