These books give the mythological background to Tolkien's writings, and focused commentary on the tales Tolkien told, his characters, the places they lived, and their world. It's presented in beautiful volumes that are a joy to hold. With many illustrations brightening the pages of the text. The writing strikes a good balance between depth and brevity. It informs without being overwhelming. Recountings of legends is done in a way that gives their tales justice without taking away the desire to read orreread the original. If you have any interest in Tolkien's writings, I highly recommend adding this set to your library!

LOVE these books and the style of them. The size of them is perfect as well.

As I am new to J.R.R. Tolkien, I have found these books to be a great source of information. Love the dictionary, atlas and hobbit books the best, though all are good. Greatly enjoying the name studies in the books. Learned things about characters I did not know. Gandalf is not human? Wow. Lots more, but too much for a review.

As an Tolkien fan I just love admiring his work through opinions / works of art of others. This set fully lives up to this. I really like the feel and handling of the soft back cover and the picture across the spline of the 7 volumes when standing together in the correct sequence. I was worried about it getting damaged on the way from the USA to Europe but not necessary, it arrived undameged. Also I was notified about all the different stages of the journey.

Looks great on my Tolkien bookshelf. I really enjoy the leather embossing and it matches my leather Lord of the Rings set. Information in the books is awesome and I can’t wait to reference while I dive deeper into the world of Tolkien.

Beautifully done and clearly a labour of love. But it didn't ADD anything to my knowledge or give me a great reason to make me feel like this was a wise investment.

Excellent source. Not perfect but gives a lot of information.

Bought this as a gift for a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and she loves it. Easy to navigate the books and helpful maps and illustrations. Would recommend.

Ürünü sevgilimin doğum günü için satın aldım ve gerçekten bayıldı. Ürün elime hiçbir hasar almadan ulaştı ve orijinal. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.
