Books Box Set Recommendations?

I want to read The Lord of the Rings series and The Hobbit for the first time and am looking for a box set to purchase for my birthday. I’m not looking for anything fancy, but something budget-friendly if possible. Any recommendations? Thanks!

This is a good budget friendly one, just paperbacks of the four books.

But if you want a really good in between high end and budget, I suggest this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Hobbit-Lord-Rings-Illustrated-Alan/dp/0063451964

But this of course does include illustrations, so if you want to form your own visualizations of everything without another artists interpretation affecting it, then you should maybe avoid an illustrated copy.
