FWIW, if you are looking for this all in one, Amazon also appears to have the 50th Anniversary Edition on sale for $46 (from $99). Personally I have been waiting for this version to go on sale for a long time now, and was glad I checked both. Hope this helps someone else!

Was excited, but reviews point out that illustrations are few and far between, and quality of print/paper/etc is poor. As always take with a grain of salt, but it turned me off ;/.

It is to be expected. There are much higher quality editions to be had (I can provide links if needed) at significantly higher price points, these are basically the mass market paperback deluxe editions. I wouldn't consider myself a collector, just a hobbyist, but I have a small library of Tolkien's works valued in the thousands (not tens of thousands, though I know those who do).

I'm curious about these editions. Would you mind sharing? I probably can't afford them! 😂

Jeez…. Imagine trying to lay in bed and read THAT beast! Yet another reason I love my eBook reader!
While Kindle and audiobooks have their advantages over a physical book, if you're worried about the weight of this book you're missing the point of this version.
