what is your opinion on these books?

Hi all, this is my first post so yeah just a quick hello

Now the question I have is regarding the lord of the rings books, I have read them like everyone else buy now I am looking to buy a better edition than my crappy ripped paperback I have, the one I have in mind is the 50 year anniversary edition I believe its called, a red colour in a slip case.

What do you think about that book?, is it worth the money?, one of the better ones?

I am also looking at the 30 year anniversary of the silmarillion, the hobbit and children of hurin, all with the slip cases, I have never read these, are they all worth s read and are they dome nice editions to have?

Would appreciate and thoughts on the matter, thanks.

Hello and welcome. I have this one

Yes that's one of the ones I was looking at, the one o am thinking of buying though looks identical but in a red colour, is there any difference?

I don't know to be honest. I've never seen the red one. I have the blue one shown in the link.

I have investigated further and it seems that one is an eaglush version where I live, the red version and the one you have is the American version, not sure if there is a difference though. £65 it is online, would you say it is definitely worth it?

Have you read any of the other books I mentioned by any chance?

If you want a definitive version of LOTR, then this book is the one to own, no doubt.

I own the hobbit and Silmarillion books too. Haven't read the other one.
