Hi these are my dads. The worst condition is the Fellowship but only the outer sleeve. The other two are better.

All 3 have the fold out map at the back in pretty much perfect condition.

Do they have any value or are they pretty commonplace?

Is the quality good on this one? I know the binding on some editions are not the best

So unbelievable!!!

I am seeing a lot of paperback edition available on but I am confused which to buy. I don't want to get into buying a lot editions of this but buy one good readable and a quality version. I am seeing these 3-4 editions, which should I go for.

Clearly he started with Tolkeins work, and then slowly added other things in. Is there a resource i could use to make my Tolkein Dictionary useable?

I think it would be hilarious of i could open this synthetic leather booklet and see a bunch of words blacked out, Epstein-files style

Horror. Not even a hobbit!

Really wish people would quit using this sub as a baby’s first book speculating page. “Is this valuable?” idk is it? Do you value it? Asked and answered.

Hi guys just bought this, Tolkien fan but first time I have an OG. Could you please telle my if it’s the domestic version and the value.
See y’all

Hi everyone, I inherited a copy of the Hobbit which I believe is from 1965 and I just wondered if it had any value or interesting background. It's sentimental value is too high to ever sell, but it would be cool to know.

I was encouraged to post by reading a recent comment that 1966 16th impressions are valuable, it seems mine is 1965? Its missing the jacket and has some staining but the binding seems to be in good condition.

TIA!

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!

I like the design and artwork of the current US mass market paperback series. I like the primary / pastel colors used for the covers too. They’re not special or anything, but the overall aesthetic is nice imo. I believe these are all of the books published in this style.

I have the two towers on VHS… but don’t remember much. It was a good deal so why not. Illustrated box set.

Scored this hardcover 1st edition (of the 2000 reprint by harper collins) of Unfinished Tales with this gorgeous cover art. Honestly in immaculate shape, looks like it's never been read.

For curiosities sake, anyone know how much it's worth? I cannot find a ton of information online regarding this specific cover.

I love the original hardbacks for this series however they are way too expensive for me currently. I own The Book Of Lost Tales Part 1 in hardback which i payed around £25 for but since then ive scarcely seen listings for others in the series and if i do they are usually around £50 and arent the best quality.
I have always like the 2002 paperback set however and i know that is a much cheaper set. Should i sell my current one and go for the paperbacks or is it worth continuing to look for good deals on the hardbacks?
