I like that they’re different from the countless editions that all have the same iconography plastered all over the cover and spine. The images featured on the covers, while beautiful, don’t feel like Lord of the Rings to me. I’m feeling more of an Icelandic saga vibe, which isn’t a bad thing. Lovely books, though, and thanks for sharing with us!

[@thelunaticreader1968]

Agreed! 💯 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated. 😇

[@namanydv_garud]

Just wanted to see the difference between the paperbacks vs hard cover:) Hardcover contains coloured maps and pictures but are more costly! Thanks for this video btw ❤️🙏🏼 Happy reading to everyone 🙌🏼

[@Slim3398]

That’s a great box set

[@Slim3398]

lol I just ordered this set for $20

[@tayluvofficial]

They're very nice yes but I personally don't prefer this cover art. It doesn't really give the vibe of majestic saga and lore as such LOTR actually is. This cover looks very chill and sort of calm but yes pretty good!

[@rajasimhabramhasamudram2090]

Nice unboxing brother. Its a good feeling to see a book unwrap. Will get you a fancy cutter. 👍😁

[@thelunaticreader1968]

Lol man, thanks for reminding me. I should get a nice cutter indeed. 😅

[@insurrbution]

At first I was like "bleh! Not a fan of the font style (all sans-serif and future-y) for the covers, or how 'The' appears inside of of other words, or the 'National Geographic landscape' covers".....but they've grown on me. Really good for a 'basic' paperback set and an entry to Tolkien. Lord of the Rings is about the journey and the scenery (that's not ALL it' about, though!) so the landscape style kinda makes sense. It's not what you'd typically for a Tolkien cover design, though! Other 'landscape' styles used for fantasy are A Song of Ice and Fire (google 'ice and fire landscape covers') and recently with The Wheel of Time series.

Did these editions have any typos?

[@readersrenaissance3529]

You could have gone for film tie in covers. They look more attractive.

[@thelunaticreader1968]

I was a bit skeptical about it coz I don't like movie tie in editions that much, you know the pics and all. So went for this plain version. I like this one better.

[@kroen]

Movie tie in covers are the worst. I hate them with a passion (even when they're based on one of my favorite movies ever, i.e. lotr).

[@scarlex.greenunion]

@@kroen same :)

[@adityakuldipkar9130]

Do these books have any map?

[@greecko13]

Got the delivery today but I have a question which to read first hobbit or fellowship?

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

Chronologically, Hobbit comes first. Fellowship also references it a few times, so it won't hurt to read it first. But it's not necessary in order to understand Fellowship and the rest of the trilogy. The tone of Hobbit is also pretty lighthearted and different from the main series (because it was written more as a children's book).

[@insurrbution]

Hobbit: it came out first, AND, takes place first.

[@sinkthepink83]

How did they make such a big mistake with the font?

I think there is an other film tie in edition

[@kroen]

I hate them, they look like a YA series. The simplistic covers are the best imo.

[@thelunaticreader1968]

Valid point!

What is YA series..?
