I'm a little confused about the illustrations....they say they're Tolkein's (and the maps that are well know to any previous reader certainly are) but it also shows watercolor images in the Amazon reviews, that are decidedly NOT Tolkien's (they look like they're from a different edition, one that I have which is three hardbound volumes with art by (Alan Lee? Brian Froud? Someone along those lines), which were done after the movies (many are based on the visualizations created for the movies. As far as I know, Tolkien didn't do illustrations like these. I assume this is part of the usual issue with Amazon where they lump reviews for multiple related things into one glob of commentary. Just be aware.

*edit: yes, the watercolor illustrations showing up in the amazon reviews section are from the 2013 or earlier version, and are by Alan Lee, not Tolkien.**

YOU SHALL NOT PASS... on this deal if you loved the story.

Just want to point out if it isn't obvious to people, this is the three Lord of the Rings books bound into one book.

Quote from Cubicrootofthee :
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.
I've gotten to a place in my life where I just don't want a lot of stuff. So, I too shall pass on this. I have slowly been getting rid of most of my physical media and have been adopting a more digital lifestyle. It's better for me and the environment.

Hahaha! I love what you did there. Looks like it went over two people's heads, or they have a poor sense of humor.

I pre-ordered the deluxe version from Amazon.co.uk on 27 July. Today, I received an alert from my credit card company for a foreign transaction for $167.27.

This should be the book, but I am worried about getting the non-deluxe while getting charged for the deluxe.
