Summary: 4 Stars
I'm reviewing the latest Houghton Mifflin print of the Lord of the Rings 50th ann addition.
This is a beautiful book, no question. Two reasons why I didn't give it a 5 star.
1) It's a little confusing from other reviews and book description whether this is really leather. With this book in hand, I can say it is NOT leather. It is leather look. In fact, it is not the best faux leather either, but it is a nice material and cover.
2) There's a little bit of rubber glue that holds the foldout maps shut. Opening this is a bit hard and leads to a little bit of rip. So be careful when you open it for the first time. Once open, you can rub off the rubber glue and it's all good.
Otherwise this is a great book. Good size and heft. Typeset is big enough to read easily. It's a keeper.
Book Review: Best possible gift for a LOTR fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine after reading several of the other recommendations. He is a LOTR fan and absolutely loved it. However, it didn't end there. His wife, who is not a great LOTR fan, also thought it was the best gift he had ever gotten.
The binding and presentation are superb. I may buy one for myself if no one else does.
