The first three volume, film tie-in, box-set edition of the Book of the Century ever published, featuring an exclusive image from the film on all three books. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike. Nearly 100 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world, and occasional collectors' editions become prized and valuable items of publishing. Now, the epic fantasy has been turned into a film trilogy, with the first movie, The Fellowship of the Ring, having been released simultaneously worldwide on 14 December 2001 to enormous acclaim -- the second and third parts, The Two Towers and The Return of The King, are to follow at yearly intervals. Already, the hype surrounding the filming of this monumental work has reached fever pitch, and images of the characters and landscape have become eagerly sought after. To satisfy the appetites of the millions of fans around the globe we will be publishing, for the first time, a special three volume, boxed-set edition, featuring an exclusive early -- as yet unseen -- image from the film. A world exclusive edition of the Book of the Century, released to match the momentum of the movie experience of a lifetime.

Nice, but damaged in delivery
The books are very nice, came in new condition & shrink-wrapped. Pages & illustrations are beautiful. They look nice on the shelf. Unfortunately set was damaged slightly in shipping-dropped or something, causing the corner of a couple outer boards to be crumpled. Delivery also took some time.

The Odyssey of our time
"The Lord of the Rings" is certainly one of the most important works of modern times. It can be seen as a paradigm of 900. The mind of the excellent author manages to compress into a story that tells of ages and seemingly distant places, the basic essence of the transformation (which took place in 900) of human societies in the contemporary global society. This transformation has occurred through two world wars and a "cold war" and in Middle-earth they are transformed in the Battle of Helm's Deep and in the fields of Pelennor.
Tolkien is a visionary man. The Lord of the Rings work that leads us away.
