The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary Edition FROM OUR EDITORS
On the golden anniversary of The Lord of the Rings, Houghton Mifflin is releasing the finest one-volume edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic trilogy. The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary Edition is truly unique: It contains for the first time "The Book of Mazarbul," from which Gandalf reads in Balin's Tomb in the Mines of Moria. The author himself painstakingly drew, stained, burned, and scarred the pages of this book to enhance their effect, and he repeatedly expressed his disappointment that their inclusion was deemed impractical. In addition to the facsimile book, this edition includes an appendix that enables readers to decipher the dwarfish script. This edition includes two-color foil stamping; a protective box with inset panels; a fully corrected text; two large-format two-color fold-out maps; and a ribbon place-marker.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkienﾽs epic masterpiece, ?rst reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collectorﾽs edition be?tting the stature of this crown jewel of our list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the authorﾽs exacting wishes and two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, and exceptionally elegant packaging, this edition is one of the finest weﾽve ever produced.
