– Hva kan sies om trilogien om 'Ringenes Herre' som ikke allerede er blitt sagt? Her har du alle tre bøkene som utgjør fantasy-litteraturens ubestridte mesterverk i ett bind, på originalspråket. Det tok litt tid før jeg våget meg på å lese hele verket på engelsk, men det viste seg at boken slett ikke var noe særlig mer tunglest på engelsk enn på norsk. Det er ange svorne Tolkien-tilhengere som sikkert har lest boken opptil flere ganger og da kan eg, for den interesserte, oppmuntre til å også lese den på engelsk, en vil ikke ta sade av det. Men i stedet for å lese samme boken for n'te gang, hva med å prøve noe nytt?

Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy and epic adventure has touched the hearts of young and old alike.

Also appearing are two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Middle-earth.
This very special deluxe edition is quarterbound in cloth and red leather, with raised ribs on the spine and stamped in two foils. The pages are edged in gold and contained within are special features unique to this edition.
