Tolkien Fantasy Tales Box Set (The Tolkien Reader/The Silmarillion/Unfinished Tales/Sir Gawain and the Green Knight) Mass Market Paperback – Box set, July 29, 2003

These have sewn bindings, and the paper stock is thick. Bookmark ribbons. Typeface is clear and not too small.These are not "premium" books, but they are nice mid-quality hardcovers, and priced appropriately. Good if you want decent hardcovers but can't afford Folio Society.It was very nice to get all 5 books as a matched set. 👍

As an avid Tolkein fan, I have always wondered where many beloved characters got their start as well as the precursor to middle earth. This book set contains many of the answers I and possibly others are looking for. The font is large enough that you do not have to strain to read, unlike many other versions that have small font sizes. Three of the books dive into the lore and happenings prior to the hobbit and lord of the ring series. There is also an extra included book that contains more short stories written by Tolkein. For readability and presentation, these books are fantastic to add to your collections.

This is a great looking collection. One of the books is printed poorly on a slant with some words cut off but otherwise perfect.

Absolutely beautiful quality, this was the perfect gift for my fiancé for Christmas. He loves them!

Gave these as a gift to my daughter who is an avid reader and she hasn’t been able to put them down.

This was so affordable i do feel bad giving it 4 stars. However, The paper and print quality is very low and difficult to read. I have several other copies of LOTR around the house.. bought these sets for my kid. Bought both box sets the one with lotr and hobbit and this set with the Silmarillion etc. So yeah She has good eyes and can read it, and at least she can dog ear the pages and i wont care lol.

I'm thrilled to finish my tolkien's middle earth work with this set of books so long hoped for. I received it on time, in good shape.

Great condition
