highly recommended

The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, ﬁrst reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear sky." Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collector's edition beﬁtting the stature of this crown jewel of our list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author's exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the ﬁnest we've ever produced.

It's not leather, but still a beautiful book.

This book is not leather. If you read the product description at Houghton Mifflin's website, http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/catalog/titledetail.cfm?titleNumber=689507, nowhere does it claim to be leatherbound. That being said this is still the most beautiful comprehensive edition of the Lord of the Rings I have laid eyes on. I would advise not trying to pull the maps apart the first time, I used a pocket knife to seperate the pages, as you will certainly tear them. I've submited a correction about the leather binding to Amazon, hopefully they will correct this. I would hate for anything to detract from this work of art.

A Most Profound and Handsome Edition - A True Masterpiece in 20th Century Literature

I'm not exactly sure what other reviewers have experienced regarding their reports of poor quality control with this edition, but I have a beautifully bound and printed copy, and have absolutely no complaints. This is simply the finest edition of Tolkien's timeless classic I've ever owned. I've examined my copy quite thoroughly and have noticed no defects in workmanship whatsoever. Every minute detail from the red and black text to the gilded pages make this edition worth the asking price and more. The book is kept in a handsome slipcover and fits right at home between the highly regarded "No Admittance" bookends. This is the edition aficionados of Tolkien's work should not be without.
