    <![CDATA[The Fellowship of the Ring, part one of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, &#64257;rst reached these shores on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, &quot;like lightning from a clear sky.&quot; Fifty years and nearly one hundred million American readers later comes a beautiful new one-volume collector's edition be&#64257;tting the stature of this crown jewel of our list.  With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien to meet the author's exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the &#64257;nest we've ever produced.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Actually, I read Tolkien's masterful Middle Earth fantasy corpus, beginning with <em>The Hobbit</em> in the early 70's and finishing <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34.The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring_The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Part_1_" title="The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Part 1) by J.R.R. Tolkien">the Lord of the Rings</a> trilogy almost a decade later, before this anniversary edition came out.  (I also read all four books to my wife in the early 80's; she loved them too!)<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18415934">more...</a>]]></body>
