Description: WHY YOU SHOULD BUY FROM ME - I have been buying and selling on eBay since its first year (1999). I have 100% satisfaction rating in all categories. My asking prices are always below retail value. I package securely and ship within 24 hours of receiving your order. You are guaranteed to have a totally satisfactory transaction. I have been doing this too long to quibble - I will make it right for you if I possibly can. WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS EDITION - There are many other editions of THE LORD OF THE RINGS available for sale (but very few of this edition - I don't see any on eBay at this posting). But THIS edition is an oversized edition with easy to read print. It is 10 1/4" high by 7 1/4" wide by 3" thick. It includes all 3 of the Lord of the Rings books in this one volume: "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King." It also includes 6 appendices of extra Middle Earth information, and 4 Indexes of yet more Middle Earth information. But the prize of this edition are the many full page color illustrated plates by Alan Lee and his beautiful painted dust jacket - front and back. The inside flap quotes this edition as $70 when new - and this book you are buying is NEW - unread and hardly touched. Let me quote for you the opening words of the inside flap: "This special edition of the Lord of the Rings celebrates the birth of J.R.R. Tolkien with fifty paintings specially commissioned from the noted English artist Alan Lee."50 painted color plates! and a gorgeous color dust jacket! - no other edition boasts this much color and visual beauty. And, the print is large - unlike most all other editions, whether hard cover or soft. This book is a treasure to any Tolkien fan, or any book-loving fan for that matter. If you have never read this treasure of a book, this edition is the one to buy to enjoy it to the fullest. This edition has gone way up in value since its printing in 1991. Check out the other offerings online (if you can find one). I am offering it for $99, and I will cover the shipping, which is no small piece of change these days. Grab this one before it is gone.
