Fans of Lord of the Rings are having a good day: first there was news about the new Gollum film that would be released in 2026. Now fans who want to return to Middle-earth in the meantime can purchase special editions of the books for more than 50% off.
As part of Amazon’s Book Salethe illustrated special edition of The Lord of the Rings retails for $106, almost $150 less than the typical list price of $250. Also the illustrated edition of The Silmarillion – which tells the entire history of Middle-earth – is 60% off, meaning readers can pick it up for just $30.
For those looking for even more extensive reading about Lord of the Rings, the hardcover edition of The nature of Middle-Eartha collection of Tolkien’s final writings about the world, is marked down to $15.
As useful as digital books can be, they’re never quite able to translate the beauty of the illustrations, which feel so much more lush when they’re not filtered through a screen. So it’s always exciting when there’s an opportunity to get your hands on these types of hardcover works at more affordable prices.
