The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, fist reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collector’s edition befitting the stature of this crown jewel of our list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author’s exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the finest we’ve ever produced.

Summary: The greatest fantasy story ever written!
Comment: As soon as I heard that the Lord of the Rings was on Kindle, I bought it; and I haven't been disappointed! The whole epic is present with very little erros in the text, and the runes that are presented in the text can clearly be seen on the Kindle. It is true that this version of the Lord of the Rings (all 3 books together) doesn't include the majority of the maps, but I don't think that degrades this edition too much; the story is masterfully presented, and I know the maps by heart. Anyone who really needed the maps could just find them on Google. So, in summary, this is a great edition of a great story at a great price. This is a sure buy for any fantasy fan with a Kindle!

Summary: Gonel evli eht Monoik! (Long live the king.)
Comment: I have been writing, drawing maps, creating languages, weaving histories and birthing charactors for ten years and NOTHING that I have EVER written comes ANYWHERE NEAR Tolkens Lord of the Rings. I read it when I was 12 on my kindle and since then I have been marking it and making notes on it and highliting it till not a single page is all clear. Tolken had the mind of an artist and a small brush in his hand and, with it, created a masterpiece. It is the third only to the Bible and Book of Mormon. YPU MUST READ THIS BOOK!! Since i have read this i have written 3 books and a trilogy and I'm only 13! I love Tolken and his steadfast charactors and diabolical evil and the end which made me cry and I don't cry easily. To sum everything all up, I love the Lord of the Rigns and nothing you write, no matter how little stars you give it, will change my mind.

Summary: Beautiful edition, but heavy volumes
Comment: Others have already left excellent reviews of this edition [ISBN 0-618-26051-X] and of the book, but I wanted to address a couple of points made by reviewers.
1) I'm not having any difficulty with the glare cited by one reviewer. While it's true that all of the pages are glossy, not just the illustrations, this has not caused me any eyestrain or irritation. Changing the book's angle to the light resolves the issue easily.
2) The bigger challenge is the weight of the individual volumes. I chose this edition over the one-volume ones, because those seem to me to be more for display than reading. Even divided into three parts, however, these hardcover volumes are too heavy to hold unsupported for long. You will want to rest them on something, and those with wrist issues may want to consider the paperback editions.
Overall, however, I agree with other reviewers that these are beautiful books with color illustrations, 2-color maps, and clear text (not too tiny). They offer a middle way between a truly massive one-volume and less displayable paperback versions.
