The most significant fantasy novel of all time in a luxury edition. For the first time, a very special edition of this classic masterpiece is being released, fully illustrated in two colors and continuously in color by J.R.R. Tolkien himself.

This single-volume edition comes in a slipcase, printed in four colors, with approximately 32 illustrations, bound with a die-cut dust jacket and two-color embossing, two ribbon bookmarks, all-around colored edges, thread binding, a covered slipcase with embossing, a map, appendices, and an index.

Since its first publication in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book that people love and cherish like a treasure.

Over 150 million copies of the various editions have been sold worldwide, and individual collector's editions are sought-after and valuable book objects.

The text of this single-volume hardcover edition is completely printed in two colors, red and black, and for the first time includes thirty color illustrations, maps, and sketches that Tolkien himself created during the development of this monumental work. This includes the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, reproduced in full color as a fold-out plate to accompany the famous chapter The Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Additionally, two full-size fold-out maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien are included, showing all the details of Middle-earth.
