Hey /lit/, any big Tolkien fans here who can recommend me a solid edition of LOTR/Sillmarillon for collection purposes? I only have battered old copies of them.
Pic related, been eyeing this one, though for that price I'm sure there's better.


Thanks

This is probably the best version of Lotr since it was originally supposed to be one book

there's a version of LOTR in a red cover, all one giant book, has a foldup map.
has to be somewhat old edition, read it back in late 80's, very early 90s

The Folio version is nicer. Bound in buckram.

Isn’t this the 60th Anniversary edition? I understand it comes with drawings not found in the original book. It’s nice but I prefer the 50th Anniversary edition. It doesn’t have the extra drawings and still contains the last round of text corrections.
