The Lord of the Rings: Special Edition

Product Information

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the classic masterpiece, with the complete text and illustrated throughout by the author himself. The conversion to 4K HDR demanded an upgrade to many of the films’ effects shots, which began to show imperfections at the higher resolution. The first adventure in the Folio Society editions of ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ series, Enid Blyton’s The Enchanted Wood features Jonathan Burton’s enchanting illustrations and a new introduction by Michael Morpurgo. The Fellowship of the Ring contains 30 minutes of additional footage (plus 20 minutes of Fan Club Credits). So each Wednesday throughout the year, we’ll go there and back again, examining how and why the films have endured as modern classics.

Published in 2014 and clocking in at a hand-sized six inches, it’s a nice little edition leatherette-bound in the warm colors of Rivendell in the fall.Mary Shelley's darkly disturbing tale is illustrated by Angela Barrett and newly introduced by Richard Holmes. Introduced by master of modern fantasy Neil Gaiman, illustrated by the extraordinary Dave McKean and signed by both contributors, this is a startlingly original take on a cornerstone of speculative fiction. This one-volume deluxe slipcased edition contains the complete text, fully corrected and reset, which is printed in red and black and features, for the very first time, thirty colour illustrations, maps and sketches drawn by Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work.

This second volume of The Lord of the Rings Jumpstart Boosters features five new cards and five more themes to explore Middle-earth; mix and match to try different combos!This is an absolute treat for LOTR and Tolkien fans, and in honor of such a cool collectible arriving soon, I thought I’d highlight other pretty rad Lord of the Rings special edition sets that are available. Illustrated by Angie Hoffmeister and with a brilliant new afterword by Donna Tartt, this edition is limited to just 500 copies and has been signed by both contributors. The director doesn’t regard The Hobbit films as some lark — they’re the preamble to the beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy.
