I am planning to buy the Lord of the Rings as a one volume hardcover edition, but there are several editions. What do you recommend?

I am personally drooling over the 50th anniversary edition (leather bound) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0618517650/qid=1135307848/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-3620648-3473645?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

PM me and I'll email you all the LOTR e-books that I own. Wink

You can Kazaa the rest or LiveWire it too. I highly recommend it (on a tight budget too...^_~).

I'm borrowing Ottis's thread here ...

Does anyone have Alan Lee's "Lord of The Ring's Sketchbook"?

Here at Amazon

I, too, have a little moolah to dispose of and was thinking of getting it and would love a review.

I'm not a fan of Lee's work at all, but this is a stunning book. I love it.

A frend of mine at work brought me a copy of the 1979 Warner Bros The Return of the King (animated), It Sucked!, Shell thought it Reeked, (her words) Elrond had a halo (?) and there was the 'minstrel of Gondor' singing the story at Bilbos 129th birthday party in Rivendell..........

Oh the humanity......

Yes... I would really like to have that one. I browse through John Howe's Myth & Magic frequently.. that purchase was absolutely a golden one.
