The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set

Exactly what I want. Need to pay attention on size before buying, because someone can be surprised that it small. But I love it!!! Like a pocket edition for traveling and really great design to decorate a table!

Good quality

I loved the way it looks and the quality, this is not your daily reading book, think of it as a great portable book, so of travelling you take one to enjoy while not taking huge space, font size is very small (it's similar to font size 1 on the kindle). Also it includes the map in the beginning of the book and some illustrations.

I just wish the cover to hold the books were a bit bigger. It really is difficult to remove the books one by one without being concerned that they would be damaged. Huge Fan of the way Tolkein wrote these books.

Probably one of the most beautiful edition of the books. Absolutely love them.

Great product to show, not so easy to read.

I am very pleased with the purchase. This vinyl bound books are very well made and is a prized box set in my library.

They look so good ♥

I haven't bought a paper book, let alone a hardcover book, since I got my first Kindle more than 15 years ago. Not until I decided to buy this box set. And it was worth it, and more. My order arrived this afternoon and the packaging by Amazon was perfect, the books were well protected and had no damage. The quality of the books is just outstanding, fantastic covers, great paper, nice font type and size. I'm not reviewing the writing of the books, after all most of those whose planning to buy this set have already read the books earlier in some form. The first time I read these books was maybe more than 40 years ago. The packaging and the overall feel of these books is just phenomenal. Not only will it look good on any bookshelf, but it's something you can pass on to your children. The only teeny-weeny regret I have now is I ordered this last Saturday for € 93, and today they cost € 75. But then again that's the story of my life. So to those on the fence about buying this set, at € 75 this is bargain!

Esqueci de tirar foto pq foi presente, mas tomei um susto pelo tamanico do produto, depois eu vi que peguei a versão pocket kkkk Gente é minúsculo, quem enxerga mal não vai conseguir ler, mas a qualidade da capa e do produto são excelentes, é lindo até pra guardar na estante.

Came in flawless condition, nicely illustrated, lovely edition

Specifically, this is about the leatherette bound pocket-sized Special Edition, as I've noticed that some reviews overlap between different editions. This is not a review of the story. Anyone considering buying this version either doesn't need my review of the books or should search the internet for the millions of existing reviews; it's enough for me to just say that there's a reason this is one of the most famous fantasy series of all time for good reason. This printing/binding is exactly what I was hoping for. The books are very beautiful in a simple way. The covers are in fact floppy fake leather, not leather-covered hardbacks. They are very soft and pliable, smooth and with a nice thick and creamy paper. The font is very small but clear and bold, perfectly legible if you don't have problems reading up close. The maps are as good as they can be being so tiny, and some details are lost. This is a set that will look great on the shelf. No gold leaf or anything to really pop out, but their small size and subdued covers that look like they could have been printed decades ago add a certain charm. The size and light weight make them perfect books to read on the go, and people will be curious about what you're reading because of how they look.

Such a beautiful set!
