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 of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, beftting the stature of this extraordinary literary achievement. 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 you can own. As a special bonus to all New Line Cinema Studio Store Customers, all copies of this book purchased here come with a full-color copy of a letter from director Peter Jackson about his love for the books and his plans for the film!
