DESCRIPTION:
A worthy addition to anyone's collection Juan Albarrán Since at this point these books no longer need an introduction, I might as well go straight into the review of this edition, the Deluxe Pocked Boxed Set. It features leatherette covers, which are soft and very well made. The colors are less saturated than they are in Amazon's picture, but that is for the better. They are definitely nice and easy to hold, and the "stand" it comes with is sturdy and beautiful. I decided to put them in my desk, and they could not have gotten a better place. The only complaint that might arise is that the font is small, but that. Very nice set of books for the price. Recommended. Read review and view pics for detail on font for pocket-sized "paperback." Very nice books, binding seems nice. I love the covers although they are not "paperback" and are more of a fake leather material. These books are beautiful and very convenient. They are pocket-sized which is great for on the go, they aren't too small or too big (actually bigger than I anticipated which is a plus).

But for some reason they didn't think to include the story! Each page has a pull out card that includes actual Tolkien text to "set the scene" of each illustration, but there is no context, no sense of story at all. These are simply un
Bilbo Baggins visited various notable persons; conversed with the dragon, Smaug the Magnificent; and was present, rather unwillingly, at the Battle of the Five Armies. For Mr. In following the path of this humble adventurer, you will learn by the way (as he did) -- if you do not already know all about these things -- much about trolls, goblins, dwarves, and elves, and get some glimpses into the history and politics of a neglected but important period. Hobbits have hitherto been passed over in history and legend, perhaps because they as a rule preferred comfort to excitement. Baggins will give you a fair idea of the estimable people now (it is said) becoming rather rare. But this account, based on his personal memoirs, of the one exciting year in the otherwise quiet life of Mr. It includes five full page illustrations in full color and many more in two color in addition to Thror's map -- all prepared by the author. They do not like noise.". The period is the ancient time between the age of Faerie and the dominion of men, when the famous forest of Mirkwood was still standing, and the mountains were full of danger. The text pages are printed in black with green accents. Th
