    The 1992 Tolkien Centenary box set edition of "The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings" is as pictured. Slim on description. Some box damage not evident in the pics. My bad for not asking. The box set was wrapped in bubble wrap & placed in a brown, bag-like envelope w/minimal padding. Despite the packaging, it arrived intact. The price was great & it arrived quickly. Despite my whining I'm happy to add it to my growing LORT collection. ==Seller Recommended==

    Great job!!!!! Arrived early. Excellent condition for a 1,830 page book. (A lot of page turning, LoL). Book spine had no damage. Best price on Ebay. Extremely packaged with bubble wrap in a bubble wrap plastic bag. 100 % happy with another 10% added for extra happiness. Wishing the Company many more decades of success. Will definitely buy from the Company again. Happy New Year.
