Reviews

Beautiful Collection

"These are a beautiful collectors set. While the text is quite small it’s still readable and these books make a stunning addition to any book collectors shelf!"

Jackie (5/5)

Beautiful

"The books are really cute and the covers and books are beautifully designed. But as a result of the size, the text is quite small."

Piple (4/5)

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings box set

"Super cute set of books! I'm so happy to have added them to my collection."

Stephanie (5/5)

Nice little set that was fairly priced

"Everyone knows the books but it was a great little set as a gift for someone."

Derryn (5/5)

I adore LOTR. These are lovely books but very small print

"I have read the LOTR collection several times over the years and highly recommend it for anyone who loves fantasy and adventure. This set are lovely but they are very small books with very small font. Great for a purse or backpack. I had ordered these for an older adult and we had to exchange them for a normal size print version."

Jude (3/5)

Lovely pocket sized hardcovers

"Really nice hardcover boxed set! The dust jackets are a bit papery, so I’d take them off if you have any plans to read on the go. Otherwise, it’s a really nice option to have a hardcover that is still portable and isn’t a brick in your bag."

Isabella J. (5/5)

Favourite books

"Love the size as they are very easy to hold and read. My favourite series to read. I had a few copies of the paperback versions before but lost due to loaning them out. Will be holding on to these copies. I do take the dust jackets off to read as they are paper and I don't want to rip them."

Yvonne (5/5)

Wanted this set for ages and finally gave in

"An absolutely lovely little set, very nice size and easy to carry"

Meagan B. (5/5)

Olivia S. (5/5)
