Book Reviews of The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)
Book Review: A Most Profound and Handsome Edition - A True Masterpiece in 20th Century Literature
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not exactly sure what other reviewers have experienced regarding their reports of poor quality control with this edition, but I have a beautifully bound and printed copy, and have absolutely no complaints. This is simply the finest edition of Tolkien's timeless classic I've ever owned. I've examined my copy quite thoroughly and have noticed no defects in workmanship whatsoever. Every minute detail from the red and black text to the gilded pages make this edition worth the asking price and more. The book is kept in a handsome slipcover and fits right at home between the highly regarded "No Admittance" bookends. This is the edition aficionados of Tolkien's work should not be without. Book Review: beautiful!

I bought this for my Dad as his Father's Day gift. Needless to say he loved it!Book Review: It's not leather, but still a beautiful book.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not leather. If you read the product description at Houghton Mifflin's website, http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/catalog/titledetail.cfm?titleNumber=689507, nowhere does it claim to be leatherbound. That being said this is still the most beautiful comprehensive edition of the Lord of the Rings I have laid eyes on. I would advise not trying to pull the maps apart the first time, I used a pocket knife to seperate the pages, as you will certainly tear them. I've submited a correction about the leather binding to Amazon, hopefully they will correct this. I would hate for anything to detract from this work of art.Book Review: Absolutely gorgeous...

I've been wanting an English version of the LotR for years.. and this one surpasses anything I wanted!
It's a beautyfull piece of work and after reading it for a zillion times in Dutch, it's STILL an awesome read.
