The World of Tolkien Complete 6 Books Collection Box Set by David Day (Dictionary, Atlas, Battles, Heroes, Dark Powers & Hobbits)

Beautiful book set. Bought as 'used like new' they were still in the original unopened shrink wrapping. Really wish I wasn't buying as a birthday present for my partner or I'd be keeping it for myself.Just wish the publishers wouldn't keep putting annoying little stickers on the back cover of the books to say they aren't authorised by the Tolkien estate. I can read the product information thanks and all the stickers do is potentially ruin the back cover as they always tear when trying to remove them. Thankfully I managed to do all six with out damaging the books otherwise I'd would have marked the star rating down.Really happy with overall quality of product and really happy to get at the price I paid.

Okay, so it is still in its plastic wrapping, as it is a Christmas gift for my husband. But the sheer quality is amazing. I bought one of the individual books for my Uncle earlier this year for his birthday and it was stunning. He said it was an amazing read, so I have no doubts that my husband is going to be even happier with the full set!

Terrific addition to my collection. Although not 100% accurate it's a great read and a great foundation to help me spark the interest in my kids to this universe

Colourful, detailed, a pleasure to look at. Definitely worth buying for collecting even if you don't read them.

Arrived earlier than expected and brilliant for learning more about lotr

They're have a faux leather binding, not paperback as advertised, which I have no complaints about however the spines do not have the picture advertised on this listing which is disappointing

some of the facts aren't true and its quite in acetone but the books themselves are gorgeous.The covers and drawing on the outside are amazing and alk the art inside and the layout is really pretty

I had high hopes for this collection of books about the World of JRR Tolkien, but at over 50 pounds,ni didn't think it justfies the high price. Not only was I really disappointed with these books, but despite the five star reviews, these are completely unofficial and not authorized by the Tolkien estate. The only book I found interesting was the first one a Dictionary of Tolkien, which helps explain the places, the races and all the characters in Middle Earth. If you are reading the complete history of Middle Earth by Christopher Tolkien, then the first book will make it easier for you to understand. Apart from this the rest of the books were boring, mulling over the same things all the time. Hence 2 stars out of 5.

These books offer a very approachable level of detail culminated from Tolkiens Legendarium, with fully illustrated tomes detailing the history of Middle Earth from the First Age through the LOTR series. Any Tolkien fan would be ecstatic to have this box set on their shelves, as it is not only beautiful, but extracts information in a digestible way from the Silmarrillion and the Appendices.

The books came at punctually , they were shrinkwrapped , so their condition is excellent- Thank You!

das perfekte Geschenk für Tolkien Fans! sieht gut aus

These are an awesome collection of books. I only dislike that the pricing stickers are pretty stuck on and kind of hard to get off.

There is a seventh book in a another set yet I can’t find the name of it to buy it separately.
