If you’re a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to expand your collection without breaking the bank. While many people are focused on tech and home goods, there are some incredible deals on Tolkien books that you won’t want to miss. As a dedicated Tolkien enthusiast, I’ve put together a list of my favorite recommendations that are currently on sale.
First on the list is “The History of Middle-Earth” series, curated by Christopher Tolkien. This collection is a treasure trove of notes and unfinished stories from J.R.R. Tolkien, meticulously compiled by his son. The second boxed set in this series, which includes beautiful artwork by John Howe, is available for 30% off, bringing the price down to $70. If you don’t already own the first boxed set, don’t worry. The books in this series can be enjoyed independently, and the first set is also on sale for $63, a 49% discount.
For those who want a more portable option, the Pocket Boxed Set is a fantastic choice. This set includes all three “Lord of the Rings” books and “The Hobbit,” all in a compact size that fits easily into a bag or even a back pocket. Right now, you can get this set for just $35, which is an excellent deal.
Collectors will appreciate the recently released Illustrated Editions of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Silmarillion.” These editions feature original artwork and are presented in a single volume, as Tolkien originally intended. “The Lord of the Rings” is available for $32, and “The Silmarillion” for $41, both more than 50% off.
If you prefer audiobooks, you’re in luck. All three “Lord of the Rings” books, “The Hobbit,” and “The Silmarillion” are available at a 30% discount if you have an Audible subscription. These audiobooks are narrated by Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in the film adaptations, and include beautiful background audio to enhance the experience. If you don’t have an Audible subscription, you can start a free trial and listen to these audiobooks for free.
It’s rare to see such significant discounts on Tolkien’s works, so if you’re a fan of Middle-Earth, now is the time to act. These deals are likely to be snapped up quickly, so don’t hesitate.
