I got a new Tolkien book! It's LOTR in one volume...perfect for me! Now I'll never lose 'Fellowship' again!

What vesion did you get? Is it the big red hardbound, or the illustrated one? Word of advice...if it is a large hardbound, every time you open it...open it at the middle, then go to the spot you need to...it will preserve the binding.

Good for you!
I've been wanting one of those! That's how Tolkien originally wanted it published (well, - The Silmarillion), it really is one story made up of six Books and Appendices.

Lucky you!
I've had to read my mom's old 197-something-or-other copy since I read it for the first time.

Actually, Ringbearer, it's a blue softcover with pictures from the movie on the front and back. (That's the best part, almost!)

Costo warehouse has the blue paperback all-in-one for $11. Seems like a very good price.

The movie edition? Blah! I like my Elves to have normal ears, and eyes filled with a light that is no longer seen on Earth, thanks. No, can't have my Elves with Orlando Bloom staring at me on the cover.

Mine is the green single-volume edition (I believe it is the millennium edition). Bought it at 24 Singapore Dollars, which I guess translates to around US$15. It has a picture of Gandalf at the front.

I have the big green one with Gandalf too. It's not the millenium edition, I know, because all my friends have it and I don't. Plus, the green one is my dads, and the other 3 part one is my mums. Can't wait till I get my own.
( I always thought the elves had pointed ears) |
