Bought these in November. They look great, but are impossible to read - the books are tiny! The description says 5.9 inches but the pages are smaller than the binding. A dollar bill is 6 inches - look at that, and then imagine the print size to jam these books into the depth of binding shown.
Naw...they're for ents!
I have this set on my desk, and while the small text/pages lends itself to some unfortunate printing errors (lighter ink on some pages), overall it's a great small set. Also one of the best book series ever, and one of the few I've read more than once in my life.

Great set, bought it earlier this year. Big fan of Tolkien's work. Would agree text is small, but expected. Wish it didn't have J.R.R. Tolkien's name in the gold lettering on the front of the box, makes it less appealing as a decorative piece.

Looks great on my shelf, but can't read a full chapter before my eyes get too tired and strained.
Get it for display and colleciton, but not to read imo

Yep.

Looks great on a shelf, though. Will have it in the background of my WFH calls next to "Coping With Being TOO Good at Your Job" and one of those small Budweiser fridges that pop up on here.

Excellent collectible or decorative item. I have to say they are not very practical for reading unless you're into tiny print. Not trying to bash it, just FYI.

For those of us that bought it in November, it was $17.45.. And I think there was also a multi-book discount which lowered the price further to $12.62. No, I don't have my time-machine but just pointing it out as Amazon may have it lower around the holidays, if you can wait..
