Should you buy The Lord of the Rings Illustrated?
For all the fans who are still interested in this deal, I also have to mention the fact that we’ll likely be getting another edition in 2028. 2028 marks The Lord of the Rings 60th birthday, so I can’t imagine there not being a new fancy edition to celebrate. While The Lord of the Rings Illustrated is gorgeous, there’s also the possibility of it being overshadowed in a few years, so you may want to hold off if you are pressed for cash and want to have more options.
However, saying all that, a 55% discount is a great bargain, and with all the upcoming Lord of the Rings hype heading our way, I imagine that there will be an increase in demand for books soon. You may want to pick up this edition while you can. For myself, the fact that so much love and appreciation for Tolkien has been put into The Lord of the Rings Illustrated makes it one of the best gifts this holiday season.
From its cover to the drawings, it’s a luxury item for book lovers for sure. But with it’s new price tag of $40, this deal is good enough to even drag Gollum’s attention from the One Ring this Cyber Monday deals period.
