Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, these works of sweeping fantasy have touched the hearts of young and old alike. Between them, over 150 million copies have been sold around the world.

Readers will be able to follow the complete story of the Hobbits and their part in the quest for the Ring with breathtaking illustrations of the iconic scenes in this epic tale—beginning with Bilbo's fateful visit from Gandalf in The Hobbit, continuing with the Council of Elrond in The Fellowship of the Ring andthe Battle of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers, and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom in The Return of the King.

I have this set. The paper used for the colored illustrations is different from the paper used for the regular text (i.e. the colored illustration paper is similar to printer paper, while the text is printed on uncoated paper you'd find in most novels). I think they really optimized this for readability over collectibility. For contrast, the 2004 edition of the Ted Nasmith illustrated The Silmarillion prioritized the quality of the images by printing everything on a glossy paper and is a physically much larger book so the images are beautiful, but it's much less comfortable to read due to glare from the glossy paper and the size of the book.

I just got these delivered from when they were on sale last week.

Very nice hardcover copies.. high quality binding, printing etc.

If you wanna upgrade your collection from old paperbacks, this is definitely a boost. Good deal too since its 4 books, like 20$ a copy for this quality print is solid.

does anyone know about the quality of William Morrow Vs Harper Collins for these books. (I do know the former is an imprint of the latter)
