(S)He's not implying they are not popular, just that Costco may offer them at better prices. They did just that with the Harry Potter illustrated volumes, which I bought and they are beautiful. I'm now waiting for the remainder of the illustrated series so I can complete the set. This LOTR set appears to be a nice collectors book as well. I think I'll wait though.

I want this badly but have vowed not to add to my physical bookshelf. Had 4 moves in 2 years plus water damage. Most of my books survived but can't have another pep-talk with myself on the importance of perspective.
Same.... I try to tame myself against buying books all the time... or at least to not keep them after being finished.

I want them to do a graphic novel for this similar to what they did for The Hobbit and then make a boxset of the two.

The 3-book Harry Potter illustration collection at Costco has been gone for the past 2-3 years now. I was waiting for a sale on those, not wanting to order them from Amazon since they will always arrive with damaged corners. But suddenly, I haven't seen them for the past 2-3 years anywhere in Southern California, and there are at least 5 Costcos around me.

Educate yourself:
"Although generally known to readers as a trilogy, the work was initially intended by Tolkien to be one volume of a two-volume set along with The Silmarillion, but this idea was dismissed by his publisher.[3][T 2] For economic reasons, The Lord of the Rings was published in three volumes over the course of a year from 29 July 1954 to 20 October 1955.[3][4] The three volumes were titled The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Structurally, the work is divided internally into six books, two per volume, with several appendices of background material at the end. Some editions print the entire work into a single volume, following the author's original intent." - Wikipedia

Ordered that version from AMZN UK to be shipped to US. You should have that option if you really want it.
