Fresh off the release of a trio of Collector’s Editions, The Lord of the Rings is now available in a lavish Deluxe Illustrated Box Set. Released October 1, this might be the most premium version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy novel. Amazon is offering a fairly massive discount on The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set that drops the price down to $246.41–yes, that’s still quite pricey, but you’re saving 24% off its $325 list price (savings of $78.59).
The three-volume set includes hardcover editions bound in cloth and leather. All three books are illustrated by Alan Lee, a popular artist who has contributed to numerous Tolkien books as well as Peter Jackson’s LOTR and Hobbit adaptations.
If you’d rather not spend close to $250 on three books, check out the upcoming Lord of the Rings Collector’s Edition Box Set releasing next month that you can preorder for a third of the price. It compiles the aforementioned Collector’s Editions of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Plus, you can buy matching collector’s editions of The Hobbit and The Silmarillion to display alongside the trilogy.
