R.: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Nice LITTLE boxset. - You know the story of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, you know what it's all about so I won't go into it here. This is just about this particular pocket sized boxset. To start with, the set includes The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. The box itself is of sturdy construction and is beautifully illustrated with the map of Middle-Earth front, back and sides. The back also contains the names The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. It also has the eye of Sauron in the Ring design surrounded with Elven script. On the front is Tolkien's name. The sides also have the dragon design of Smaug as seen on the Hobbit book. All pretty wonderful to look at. Now the books. The three Rings books have the usual minimalist design of the Eye as has been used for some time. Personally, I prefer the proper artwork designs of many older editions. Beautiful landscape vistas, towers and character depictions. As I say, that's just a personal choice. The Hobbit cover, by contrast, uses what I believe to be a copy of the original cover. Beautiful and evocative of the story contained within. As such, it really does stand out from the other three books. Now, this may be an issue for many when it comes to deciding whether or not to purchase this particular pocket set, and that would be the size (see photos). Be prepared for very small books. I was quite surprised at just how small they actually are. Weight wise, these are probably going to be absolutely perfect if you have trouble holding the full size editions for any length of time. Surprisingly, the print is still crisp and clear making it quite easy to read. As a way of judging if you might have problems reading it, I have to wear varivocals so my eyesight is not particularly great. All books are hardcover and seem well made. I personally think it is a wonderful set to stand alongside my many full sized editions and box sets. This set is, in fact, perfect for Hobbits everywhere. Review: Quick delivery, good quality - Nice pocket edition.

Can do a good present ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit underwhelming but much welcomed *by M***9 on 1 November 2018* Looking at pictures, I got the impression that the books were bigger and got the impression that I am in for a long read. Both impressions got the better of me once I received the box today. Furthermore, the cardboard box also made me think that the books are bigger, only to see, once I opened it that you could fit in 2-3 more products of the same kind. Off to the product, although the books are small in size, almost pocket size, there are 1500+ pages worth reading. The discounted price was ideal, considering that you get all 4 books + additional content such as the Appendices and with hardcover, rather than paperback cover. Rather unsatisfied about the introductory cover which might deteriorate faster than the books. In conclusion, for the price I bought the books, the product is satisfying and a proper start in developing my own Tolkien collection of writings concerning the universe of Arda. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings Gift Set: A Middle-earth Treasury - The Silmarillion: Illustrated by J.R.R.
