The Fellowship of the Ring Collector's Edition: Being the First Part of the Lord of the Rings

A special collectible hardcover edition of the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, featuring the complete story with a sumptuous cover design, foil stamping, stained edges, and ribbon bookmark.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power--the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring--the ring that rules them all--which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

This elegant hardcover--now available for the first time in the United States--is one of five Collector's Editions of Tolkien's most beloved works, and an essential piece of any Tolkien reader's library.
