Way cool. Binding and pages are high quality; perfect size for carrying in a pocket. Wish I’d found it in a used bookstore.#LOTR

Pleasant memories returned for my kids, now adult, on hearing the narration from their youth. They had worn out the original cassettes long ago. But reminiscences of cozy nights and kitchen activity with the story filling the room had them wishing for the same audio version. So I got one for each family. Different vendors, different arrival times, but both sets in great shape. Boxes, obviously vintage, part of th pleasure.

Beautiful set. Print is small.But won’t stop me from reading the books. Easy to travel with too.
Quality binding-PRINT IS SMALL BUT JUST RIGHT…Paper is fine but sturdy….The content is BEYOND IMAGINATION…WELL WORTH THE MONEY….THANKS FOR A QUALITY PRODUCT !!!
The book set is absolutely beautiful. From the binding to the cover to the illustrations in The Hobbit everything is exquisite. I will definitely be buying other items from your company in the future.
The pocketbook set is gorgeous, and of great quality fromnthe gold leaf adorning the covers, and throughout the print on the pages. I am very happy with them.
A great keepsake of the Lord of the Rings books. Leather bound, nice small and easily carried, but has great pictures to augment the story. If you're a fan of JRE Tolkien and the LOTR, this is a keeper!
Theres nothing more I can say about The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings that hasnt been said but this collection is wonderful. It just feels different. Ive seen people posting pics of this collection for a while and despite already having a few different versions of the Tolkien books I just had to buy this. Its a pocket edition which is great as its on the go. So yet again Im on the journey through middle earth. I recommend this collection to any Tolkien fan, it really is a must have. On a side note, Ill definitely be buy all my future books from Wordery. Brilliant company.
i have this exact set from walmart, it costed $35. this is a ripoff
