While all of these tomes would make a fine addition to any Hobbit Hole, if you have to buy just one, we’d recommend The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set which is currently on sale for $179 (was $325). This once and future king of box sets features individual leather-bound entries of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Each book contains a spread of color illustrations and sketches by Alan Lee, one of the key concept artists who worked on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. You’ll also find a pair of fold-out maps, drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, detailing Frodo’s journey to Mordor and the greater geography of Middle-earth.
