A beautiful illustrated boxed set collecting the two most popular Tolkien hardbacks -- the Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit, both illustrated by Alan Lee. Since they were first published, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have been two books people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, these works of sweeping fantasy have touched the hearts of young and old alike. Between them, nearly 100 million copies have been sold around the world. And no editions have proved more popular than the two that were illustrated by award-winning artist, Alan Lee -- the Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit. Now, for the first time, these two beautifully illustrated hardbacks have been collected together into one deluxe boxed set. Readers will be able to follow the complete story of the Hobbits and their part in the quest for the Ring -- beginning with Bilbo's fateful visit from Gandalf and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom -- while also enjoying over seventy full-page colour paintings and numerous illustrations which accompany this epic tale.

Seller's Description:
Lee, Alan. Very good in very good dust jacket. 2 vols. in slip-case. 1504 p. Includes Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. HarperCollins, London, 2000. ISBN: 0007105029. ISBN/EAN: 9780007105021 An excellent example of this limited edition collectable slipcased set. The Hobbit is the 60th anniversary of the original publication edition, originally issued in 1997. The Lord of the Rings is the originally issued 1991 edition produced to commemorate the centenary of Tolkien's birth. There are 50 full-colour illustrations by Alan Lee throughout the books, as well as the front and back illustrations featured on the slipcase. This is a beautiful set for any collector or fan. The books are in near fine condition and feel barely used. The book jackets both grade near fine, with minor crimping to edges where the books have been slid in and out of the box. The box itself is near fine, with some slight wear along the top seam which looks to be a production issue. It has been kept primarily as a display piece, so is in remarkably good condition. I do not use stock photographs, so the pictures are of the actual item for sale. More can be provided on request. Please note: this set is very heavy (8lbs / over 3kg) so overseas purchasers will be charged additional shipping. Please contact me for exact price.
