Couldn't recommend more!

I read the The Hobbit and LOTR in middle school, and of course became obsessed with the stories again when the Peter Jackson films were released years later. With the recent release of Rings of Power, I'm once again immersing myself in all things Middle Earth related. Lots of helpful information in these volumes. Tolkien was such a genius.

As a huge Tolkien fan, this paperback set is incredible. I have the three volume hardcover edition of History of Middle Earth that includes all twelve books, but these paperback versions are great to read in place of the hardcover set. Will likely be purchasing the remaining books from HoME in paperback shortly. Can never have too many copies of Tolkiens books!

Not great with small-sized books. I prefer trade paperbacks so the dimensions for these beautiful but small books did not work for me. Otherwise - it's Tolkien so they are perfect. LOL

This set just arrived today, have not opened the set but am anxious to. Very nice looking set. Packaged nicely.
