I ordered it from Flipkart and its service was, as usual, brilliant. I want to emphasize on the slip case and the books rather than the story that the books tell. Not because I don't like the story or whatever but because I think whoever is thinking to buy them has a rough idea by now about the plot and characters, etc.
So, the books are pretty handy, because I used to have this 50th anniversary edition, which meant that all three books were rolled into one big, really hard to handle book. S...

This slipcase is a great collection.Three books split in 7 books makes it easy to read and refer the appendix.In few reviews I read that people are facing problems with the slipcase but i found it very nice without any problems.The book quality is very nice.

About Flipkart: Yet again great service. The packing was done very nicely.delivery was made well before the standard delivery time they mentioned.Good job Flipkart team.

Box set looks big in the pic given, when in real it is qite small. which makes it an easy read.
Divided into several books that makes it easy to hold.
Excellent print quality.
Good illustrious maps on each book.

Definitely worth buying.

-Beautiful cover
-Great paper and print

Overall- Perfect!

I expect the best from Flipkart and I am never disappointed. This boxed set made a perfect gift and I was very happy that it arrived earlier than expected and that too in an impeccable condition.

When I first saw this slipcase I was absolutely thrilled. My old copy of the Lord of the Rings is a single, gigantic book, and is therefore difficult to cart around for a read. But, with the division of the LotR into its original six books and the appendices, it is extremely convenient to take with one anywhere and read.

As for the story itself...it is a masterpiece. It's the father of all epic/high fantasy and is a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts. It's a story that is brilliantly written...

I'm very passionate about the trilogy of The lord of The Rings, since 2001 after watching the movie I have decided to buy the Series, but somehow it's not possible but Flipkart made it possible for me. A good set of books with great printing & maps in a good low price. 7books make the volume easy to carry anywhere. I received the book within 48 hours, excellent delivery.

Pros
*High Quality printing. The paper quality is great and I'm expecting a long shelf life.
*Splitting it into 7 books is a great idea. I own a copy of TLOTR(one book) and it its really uncomfortable to hold while reading.
*I'm a huge Tolkien fan and I hate it when some editions omit some text or a map. But this edition, as far as I know, is complete.
*Low cost, keeping the quality in mind.

Cons
*Virtually none, but there is the small issue of the case. It takes some time to place all the b...

It's an ensnaring adventure of elves, hobbits,orcs and all other magical creatures. A must read. The books are very handy too. And abt the service, just good as usual.

I loved the fact that it had a good intro about the Hobbits as it was my first Tolkien's book.

The books are good in quality but the case is too small. Now that books are out of it, I am not able to squeeze them back in.

But they are a delight, the printing quality is amazing and the writing goes without saying :)
