Ahead of Prime Day tomorrow, Amazon has dozens of books, movies, toys, and more already on sale. You can also get 3 books for the price of 2 on qualifying items thanks to an early promotion. One of the books included in this sale is the Lord of the Rings Illustrated Edition, which is currently sitting at a nice 47% discount. This edition makes a great gift for any Middle-Earth fan, and a handful of other versions of the LotR trilogy, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion are included in this promotion if you want the full set.

To take full advantage of the sale, you’ll need to add all three of these illustrated editions to your cart and Amazon will drop the price of the least expensive one. So in this case you’d be getting the Silmarillion for free with your purchase.

Lord of the Rings Illustrated Editions on Sale at Amazon

All of the Lord of the Rings illustrated editions are included in the sale, but it’s the collection of Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King that is the easiest to recommend. It is a 1,248-page collection of the iconic fantasy saga and features over 30 color illustrations and sketches from J.R.R. Tolkien himself. It also includes two full size fold-out maps by his son Christopher Tolkien, exploring the layout of Middle-Earth in great detail. This oversized tome is hardcover with a premium feeling gray and gold slip cover, and the page ends are printed in red with Elvish text across its length.

As an added bonus, pages from the Book of Mazarbul are included, which are a great companion when you reach one of the most popular chapters in the book, the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. If you haven’t had the chance to read The Lord of the Rings yet, I highly recommend it with this edition. Then, you can catch up on Prime Video’s Rings of Power before season 3 releases… eventually.

In our review of Rings of Power season 2, which IGN’s Samanthan Nelson gave a six overall, stating “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 offers some dramatic action and deep pathos, but is dragged down by extraneous plots and characters.”

The Lord of the Rings movies are also included in the sale
