Synopsis

First published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has long been treasured by readers, with 150 million copies sold across its many editions worldwide. In 2005 the text was fully restored with the co-operation of Christopher Tolkien, introducing almost 400 corrections alongside fold-out red and black maps, a revised and enlarged index, and a special plate section reproducing pages from the Book of Mazarbul.

This boxed set brings together that definitive text with further corrections and a fourth hardback volume, The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, an annotated guide to the text that has been fully updated since its first publication in 2005.
