Easton Press: Oops, wrong price (and more info) - Lord of the Rings news - J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings

October 27, 2000 at 13:43:20

Xenite.Org incorrectly reported the price for the Easton Press Tolkien Classics collection as $48.25.

We called them back today to discuss the correct pricing and have learned that this the per book price, shipping and sales tax included, except in the states of New Jersey, Connecticut, and Tennessee. These three states are where the books are shipped from, and sales tax must be included.

The Easton Press Tolkien Classics edition do include illustrations, although how many or by whom wasn't available to the person we spoke with. The books are leather-bound with gold edging and they use an acid-neutral stock so the pages should last for generations.

To order the entire collection (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion) one should figure a cost of $241.00. The Silmarillion is out-of-stock but being reprinted. They expect to make the book available again in January.

Books may be purchased individually.

C.S. Lewis fans may be interested to know that Easton Press also offers The Chronicles of Narnia.

We regret the inaccuracy of our previous report.
