The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings Gift Set: A Middle-earth Treasury

A nice Lord of the rings and the hobbit book set but the books size turned out way smaller than I anticipated. Overall good.

Very underwhelming for the price. Looks like pocketbooks. Print is small. Bad quality printing, binding in many places - with the text scaling an angle to the page. Returning Product.

It's too small in size, the font is too small to read, I had to strain my eyes to read them

Nice little set! I see a lot of people complaining about the size, but I really like it. I am in my 50's and wear glasses to read some books but I do not need them for these editions. The smaller size makes them perfect for reading in bed without a heavy book and makes them perfectly portable if you want to read while waiting anywhere. I like the design too. Also great size for kids and at a decent price. I was worried when I saw someone had a misprint in the 2nd book of this set, The Fellowship of the Ring, since I just started that book. I checked my edition and it seems they have found and corrected that issue in subsequent printings. I have not yet read the 3rd and 4th book nor looked through for page printing issues but I will be doing that now that I saw these printing problems mentioned. I will update if I find any problems, but so far, so good. I purchased my set in January 2025. I know it is hard to tell from photos without comparison so many people are feeling deceived by the size, but it isn't as if they were trying to hide it. You just need to check the description. This is something I do all the time now with books on Amazon after accidentally ordering horrid Create Space editions of books in the public domain, so I automatically double check the details on every book purchase now, just to be safe. Looks like we will have another 18 years before these books enter the public domain, then I imagine all kinds of random editions will start popping up.

Tal y como se ve en la foto. El envío llegó a tiempo y bien empaquetado. No miré el tamaño antes de comprar, son pequeños pero están muy bien.

A beautiful little box set. The compact editions are delightful. A lovely addition to my library.

Great quality

Ho letto il Signore degli Anelli 7 volte. Ho perciò gioito quando ho saputo che ne sarebbe uscita una nuova traduzione a cura di Ottavio Fatica. Poi ho saputo che nella nuova traduzione Samvise sarebbe diventato Samplicio, i raminghi FORESTALI e i Brandibuck BRANDAINO. E ho pensato che non fosse per me. Quindi ho deciso di ribellarmi a questo scempio leggendo la versione originale in lingua madre. L'impresa non è delle più semplici ma armati di Google per le parole più vetuste e quelle inventate dello stesso Tolkien è davvero godibile e un ottimo boost per la padronanza della lingua inglese. Ah sì, i libri sono piccoli e scritti a caratteri piuttosto minuti ma fatti molto bene. In più le sovracopertine riproducono le copertine originali, un tocco di classe. Consiglio. BRANDAINO. Va va....
