The illustrated Lord of the Rings box set has never been cheaper

The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set is perhaps the most decadent version of Tolkien’s trilogy ever to see print, and is currently marked down to its lowest price ever on Amazon. Normally priced at $325, the massive box set is on sale for just $325 $246.41just in time for Prime Day in October.

The three-volume, leather-bound, hardcover book set features more than 50 paintings and drawings by artist Alan Lee, in addition to removable art cards and a pair of fold-out cards drawn by JRR Tolkien himself. Alan Lee was the artist responsible for producing the concept art for Peter Jackson’s film trilogy and has since turned his talents to illustrating Tolkien’s other works. Although the illustrations in this edition of The Lord of the Rings are different from those found in the beautiful self-contained luxury versionthe cards in both versions are identical.

There are also other illustrated editions of Tolkien’s work available for purchase, including the illustrated version of The Hobbitwhich is on sale for $38.01 (was $75), and The Silmarillionwhich is discounted to $40.08 (from $75). The aforementioned single-volume version of The Lord of the Rings with illustrations by JRR Tolkien is available for $47.49 (was $90).
