Update: Back in stock at the deal price as at 10:20am 10/9/24

With an RRP of $275 and an average price of $200.50 according to the Camels, the deluxe illustrated edition is now available for its lowest ever price. Even better, it's cheaper than the lowest price recorded by the Camels for the lower spec LOTR Illustrated Edition that has regularly gone on sale and been popular in the past.

Looks like dispatch will take 2-4 weeks, but this is a cracking price for a beautifully presented classic.

From the website:

Sumptuous slipcased edition of Tolkien’s classic epic tale of adventure, fully illustrated in colour for the first time by the author himself. This deluxe volume is quarterbound in leather and includes many special features unique to this edition.
Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy and epic adventure has touched the hearts of young and old alike. Over 100 million copies of its many editions have been sold around the world, and occasional collectors’ editions become prized and valuable items of publishing.

This one-volume deluxe slipcased edition contains the complete text, fully corrected and reset, which is printed in red and black and features, for the very first time, thirty colour illustrations, maps and sketches drawn by Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work. These include the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, marvellous facsimiles created by Tolkien to accompany the famous ‘Bridge of Khazad-dum’ chapter. Also appearing are two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Middle-earth.

This very special deluxe edition is quarterbound in cloth and red leather, with raised ribs on the spine and stamped in two foils. The pages are edged in gold and contained within are special features unique to this edition.

    Sorry folks, looks like it has indeed gone back up to $196. :-(

    I have a confirmed order at the price I posted and I made sure it went through before posting. Hope someone else managed to score it for the same price before it went up.

  • Damn, price has been fixed :(

    I bought the cheaper version for about $40 last month. Never seen this version less than $150 before though.

  • Price has changed to $196

  • Was looking for reviews and the comments on reddit seem to rate the standard one more highly than this deluxe version for some reason. And also just the Alan Lee boxed set even more so?
