I have the Silver edition, so I can't give you first hand evidence but a search on Amazon says that the dimensions of the book are 6.1 x 3 x 9.2 inches (http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-50th-Anniversary-Edition/dp/0618517650)

u/worldchrisis · 6 pointsr/harrypotter

I refer to this as my bible.

When a gold trimmed copy of HP 1-7 in one book comes out that can be my New Testament.

u/aednichols · 6 pointsr/books

For properly awesome maps, check out this edition.

u/krelian · 5 pointsr/tolkienfans

It's absolutely gorgeous and totally recommend. For LotR I have the 50th Anniversary Edition

u/Shadoblak · 4 pointsr/bookporn

This is the one I got. It's a bit cheaper and eligible for Prime.

Lord of the Rings, again. In leather!

Lord of the Rings 50th anniversary edition - 4.5 pounds, 10 x 6.6 x 2.7 inches

Kindle Touch - 7.5 ounces, 6.8" x 4.7" x 0.40" (172 mm x 120 mm x 10.1 mm)

Carrying a 4.5 pound fat book around, sometimes pretty annoying.

Carrying a Kindle with up to 3000-odd books in it, pretty easy.

There's always Vilya(the prettiest of the Great Rings in my opinion), although rings could be misinterpreted ;)

Also, if she doesn't have it, may I recommend this gorgeous tome?

The one you linked to Amazon is not the same edition as the image you linked.

The image linked is ISBN: 9780618517657

It's a really nice edition.

u/SebastianLazari · 3 pointsr/Fantasy

I have this edition. It's the 50th Anniversary Edition, from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

I like it a lot. The black and red big maps. Slipcase. Golden pages.

u/pixelbaron · 2 pointsr/lotr

50th Anniversary edition is nice.

Hardcover in a slipcase.

u/indyjones360 · 2 pointsr/lotr

50th anniversary is the best edition! I have it. It’s printed in the USA and is by far the most nostalgic and durable version for LOTR fans! Here is the link:

50th Anniversary Edition, 2004

It's a really, really nice book. My girlfriend's brother has it.

u/plentyinsane · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This because I just finished watching The Two Towers last night!

u/person95 · 1 pointr/tolkienfans

I love my 50th anniversary Lord of the Rings. Sturdy book, all books in one tome, and it looks classy and refined.

u/swissdude323 · 1 pointr/lotr

Here it is on Amazon.de, although seems slightly more expensive.

u/sjeanke · 1 pointr/books

was given Lord of the rings in dutch as a gift; bought it as english paperback later; and a few weeks back I saw the 50th anniversary edition for 30 € and couldn't resist :)

Also: i too have the fake leather edition of Lamb (which I assume you have OP), god that book is amazingly funny :)

u/ph34rb0t · 1 pointr/Games

Video games as a medium seem to lose value over time at a greater rate than books, closer to that of a film.

Looking at some of the best 2004 had to offer:

Here is a classic book, which 8 years from its release (the particular version that is) has been devalued by 28%.

You can get a used copy for $32.77, roughly 50% of the current 'new' price


Half-Life 2, also released in 2004, is $9.99 new. Original MSRP: $39.99, so that is close to 75% devaluation.

You can get the physical copy used, if you want the physical copy that is, for around $5.99 shipped.


Harry Potter comes through with a price of $8.51 new from MSRP of $29.98, around a 70% devaluation. Used is around $3.00.

This set is extremely limited (500 pcs). You're not going to find it any cheaper than this. If you're planning on opening and reading it, why not just get a cheaper editon? The only things missing from cheaper editions are the revised family trees and the Khazad-dum painting in LOTR, as far as I know. You can get that particular edition as a standalone for less than a hundred bucks on Amazon. Apart from some other random artwork, you wouldn't be missing anything important. You can get the slipcovered Children of Hurin for less than $40 on Amazon. If you want the best edition of The Hobbit that I know of, you should check out John Rateliff's History of The Hobbit link.

u/Ciryaquen · 1 pointr/tolkienfans

If you are ok with a single volume edition, then this is the best one I've personally owned.

http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-50th-Anniversary/dp/0618517650/

Apparently there are two different versions floating around, one dark grey and the other dark blue.

I bought mine from Amazon about a year ago and mine looked like this one.

Seems like there's a chance you could end up with this one though.

I actually purchased the 50th Anniversary Edition about 5 years ago.

Edit: Found a better link. So sexy.
