The Lord of the Rings millennium edition.
7 Volume UK Set of The Lord of the Rings plus a CD J.R.R. Tolkien Reads Excerpts From The Lord of The Rings
Published by
HarperCollins in 1999.
A one-off commemorative edition celebrating THE BOOK OF THE CENTURY, complete with a free CD of J.R.R. Tolkien reading excerpts from the work
The Lord of the Rings is presented in seven volumes, one for each of its six books plus a seventh volume of appendices.
Originally intended by J.R.R. Tolkien for publication as a single volume, The Lord of the Rings grew in the telling such that its publishers had to split it into three volumes for the sake of both convenience and economy.
Tolkien wrote his epic fantasy as a work of six books, plus a series of appendices; this edition gives each its own volume.
This is a slipcase set of small hardbacks, bound in black covers with the distinctive Eye of Sauron (from the original jacket design) embossed in red and gold on each copy.
The set shows minor shelfwear to the back, and some minor bumps to the top of the slipcase. Books appear to be in mint, unread condition. The CD sleeve shows wear to the front, with signs of rubbing to both front and back of the sleeve. The CD has no scratches.
Each book bears Tolkien's original book title and has been specially typeset for this edition. A distinctive seven-volume Millennium set, complete with Tolkien's recorded readings.
Digital photos available, inquire if interested.
