SAVE 28%: Pre-order an illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings from Amazon before its release on Oct. 14.


We don't need to tell you how awesome The Lord of the Rings series of books is, because at this point everyone knows it's absolutely epic. What you might not know is that the series is getting a serious boost later in the year.

A new hardcover illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings is set for release on Oct. 14 in the UK. The original edition only features two illustrations from Tolkien, but this version will include 30 sketches, illustrations, and maps.

There are two versions to consider before its release in October, and both are on sale on Amazon:

The standard illustrated edition features a stunning white cover and over 1,000 pages in a hardcover binding. The special edition is quarter-bound in cloth and red leather, with raised ribs on the spine and stamped in two foils. The pages are even edged in gold.

Add these illustrated editions to your collection with the best pre-order deals on Amazon.
