Three-volume boxed set edition lavishly illustrated in full color by Alan Lee
Ring to rule all of them, Ring to find them, Ring to bring all of them & in the darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, & Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the Ring, filling it together with his own power so that they could rule all others. But the Ring was taken from him, & though they sought it throughout Middle-earth still it remained lost to him. After plenty of ages it fell, by chance, in to the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far & wide. They gathered all the Great Rings to him, but ever they searched far & wide for the Ring that would complete his dominion.
On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo dissapeared bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, as well as a dangerous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep in to the shadow of the Dark Lord & destroy the Ring by casting it in to the Cracks of Doom.

The format of this edition is larger than most books tend to be making it hard to read in any position other than sitting upright holding the book on your lap or on a table. Each of the volumes features a pretty shiny dust jacket & is filled with a dozen or so full color illustrations by the famous Alan Lee.
This is a pretty edition of The Lord of the Rings (ISBN: 0618260587 ), & is probably best suited for anyone who is already a fan of the book, than for anyone who is reading the book for the first time.
In the event you are a fan of Alan Lee's artwork, & don't necessarily intend on READING this edition, though, this is a great piece to select up & will most likely be the type of book you finish up treasuring for years to come even if it is not the you give your children to read.
My main issue with this edition, besides the weight & size of the books, is that the pages containing text are shiny paper. The glare caused by this type of shiny paper make it a tiny irritating on the eyes when reading for long stretches of time. It would have been much nicer had they published this edition with matte paper for the text & saved the shiny solely for the illustrations.
