This four volume, deluxe paperback boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks THE HOBBIT and the three volumes of THE LORD OF THE RINGS (THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, THE TWO TOWERS, and THE RETURN OF THE KING) in their definitive text settings complete with maps and cover illustrations by the celebrated artist Alan Lee. 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 THE LORD OF THE RINGS tells of the great and dangerous 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. J.R.R. Tolkien's three volume masterpiece is 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.

Summary: I love "The Hobbit" and "LOTR".
Comment: I love "The Hobbit" and "LOTR" series of books they are really fantastic works of fantasy-literature. I do own both "The Hobbit" and "LOTR" books and they are one of my many top favourite bookseries ever to be penned. I am glad I got a different edition of the books that stay together, have good drawings of Middle-Earth, and have the sentences worded correctly.
I looked at versions of these books seperately in the store and thought WOW! what a generic version trying to pass on us avid readers and "LOTR" fans. I would suggest buying the Houghin Mifflin versions of "The Hobbit" and all three volumes of "The Lord Of The Rings". To the reviewer's who cover came off of "The Hobbit" I am glad you were able to return this boxset and able to get better versions of the books.

Summary: "The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings", book set by J.R.R. Tolkien
Comment: The classic and age old story of good vs. evil told in a way that captures the imagination from the first book to the last. Books to gather enjoyment and wisdom from as the tale unfolds: "The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater..." - Haldir, Elf of Lothlorien ("The Fellowship of the Ring")

Summary: Good Book
Comment: Good Book to read in an airplane or bus or train, to kill time. However, it is easy to lose its own original binding shape after a few readings.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great books but too descriptive
Comment: The best books set I've gotten thus far. However too descriptive, it makes me sleepy since I'm suspension and adventure story lover. I know it has adventure and fantasy but again, too descriptive, just like Frankenstein.
