The Two Towers Collector's Edition: Being the Second Part of The Lord of the Rings

by J. R. R. Tolkien

Overview

A special collectible hardcover edition of the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, featuring the complete story with a sumptuous cover design, foil stamping, stained edges, and ribbon bookmark.

Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom.

Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

This elegant hardcover—now available for the first time in the United States—is one of five Collector’s Editions of Tolkien’s most beloved works, and an essential piece of any Tolkien reader’s library.

“Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and new creatures, from the beauty of Lothlorien to the horror of Mordor, adventures to hold us spell-bound, and words of beauty and evocation to bring all vividly before us.”  — Sunday Telegraph (UK)
