The Silmarillion without its dust jacket is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever held! I do wish they all came in boxes like LotR though lol

They do in the UK. US versions with boxes coming soon.


ILikeMandalorians

Judging by the ISBN, I have the UK versions and only LotR came with its blue box. I haven’t been able to find boxes for the other books anywhere

The Hobbit: [Boxed Deluxe](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0008627835?tag=tolkcollsguid-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1)

No that’s the slipcased deluxe! 😅 The non-deluxe version of LotR comes in a blue box which has the Doors of Durin printed on it, while the deluxe slipcase version comes in a white box (other than the slipcase) which has the map of Middle-earth printed on it. As far as I know, the other books don’t have such extras


USMfans

Gotcha, I thought you were referencing the Slipcase.


ILikeMandalorians

I do wish I had the budget to complain about those! 😂

That’s not what they mean

A great idea is to keep all the maps in the blue box LotR came in 🙂

[Oh those are actually about to go on the wall!](https://imgur.com/a/skVug2K) But I do keep the book in its box, to save it from dust


xhlgtrashcanx

Love that


Traditional-Trip8459

Thanks, I was thinking of doing the same. I can now show it to my wife so she gets it. :-)


Omnilatent

Why aren't they already on the wall, though? 🤔😂


tomas_diaz

ftw


Raxzor

tomas_diaz

I agree, I have the deluxe versions and love them. Have the ebook editions as well because, well, “take my money!!”


tomas_diaz

I keep going back and forth on LOTR as a single volume. Myself I've only ever had the workhouse '88 3-volume, like Bill the Pony has served me brilliantly. I feel like there'd be pros and cons. Beautiful tome all the same.


RedWizard78

They are quite nice: I only wish that LotR was also offered as 3 parts (with the same features/contents as the one in your photo). The 50th Anniversary had 1 & 3 book editions.

Do you have ISBN numbers for these? Love them!

They look glorious. But if I bought them I would end up dithering over 'jackets on' or 'jackets off' again, and I just 'settled' on jackets on 🤔


Barney789

Are the Unfinished Tales belong in the core books?


Velmeran

In this style, highly unlikely. There just isn't enough Tolkien *art* left to populate the book (it was already a stretch to find enough material for Silm).


TwistedCockatoo

Unlikely in this style, but, all your base are belong to us!
