2024 Christmas Tolkien Book Suggestions

🎅🎄❄️🎁⛄

It's that time of year! I'm going to detail some Christmas Gift Ideas (not for me, for you - the reader) to spotlight certain items of fantasy anyone would enjoy getting under their tree this year! 



` 2024 William Morrow Tolkien Collector's Editions

First up, are these splendid editions of The Tolkien Trinity (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion) by William Morrow. 

The ISBNs for each are as follows:

The Hobbit: 9780063396203

The Fellowship of the Ring: 9780063412613

The Two Towers: 9780063412620

The Return of the King: 9780063412637

The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set (includes a Map of Middle-earth in the set. the books do, but this is separate, detached map is only found (in terms of these titles) in the boxed set): 9780063421240 

The Silmarillion: 9780063396197

These are attractive 'everyday' editions. They are dustjacket-less hardcovers, not super expensive, have foil stamped covers, maps printed on the endpapers (in red and black ink), have sprayed edges, and a ribbon-marker. Much better produced than the HarperCollins counterparts. They are also priced very well, and as of this post written, are on sale on Amazon US. I'm not sure if the discounted prices will end after Black Friday Weekend.   






` The Complete History of Middle-earth (Boxed Sets I - IV)

All four History of Middle-earth Boxed Sets are now out! As such, I'd like to 'feature' them on my Annual Christmas Tolkien Suggestion post! They are offered by both HarperCollins and William Morrow, so finding them should be pretty easy. 






` The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien 

This 3-book boxed set is offered by both William Morrow and HarperCollins, so finding it should be pretty easy. 

This is a boxed set filled with various poems by Tolkien. Likely able to be appreciated by a Tolkien fan at any level, this definitely appeals to the most die-hard of fans; as they've been waiting a long time for such a release to exist. 





` The Hobbit + The Lord of the Rings Illustrated Boxed Set


ISBN: 9780008376109 

HarperCollins is only offering this, so I opted to include the ISBN. This is a boxed set of standard hardcover editions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (presented as 3 parts) with illustrations by Alan Lee. It matches with The History of Middle-earth Boxed Sets, as well as quite a few other releases. A full list of which is found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2MBAYKELMBFY9?ref_=wl_share .

Amazon allows wishlists to be shared, so I've done so: take note of the ISBN 13 under the product details if you prefer not to shop through them.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...
