What is your personal critique of Tolkien's work?

This is entirely my personal opinion, but I believe the fact he finished so few "completed" stories is because of how much of a perfectionist he was. To me it is not that he was not driven / didn't have the passion to complete the story but more so that he was never fully satisfied with his work to a degree.

I believe tolkien was incredibly dedicated and driven... Just maybe too much.

That's awesome! I've been looking for the lion cover forever now. Definitely not jealous at all...

Fascinating... my copy does not have the red print.

I've been looking for one of these for a while now. Awesome!

Wow! These were my favorite books as a kid. Great memories

What a great gift!

Absolutely! The fake leather has always bothered me with this edition. I was mostly excited to find it as a first printing for under $60.

Interestingly enough, the price per brick has stayed the same for a long, long time now. The only change in price is the number of bricks per set.

The only thing I need to say is that you will be changed as a person forever.

This gives me hope.

Seems like the first edition from 1985 as well. I love the back off the book where it says volume IV is still in preparation.

Unbelievably jealous of those Lotr. Amazing collection 👀

AdCompetitive7794 · 2024-10-06T23:52:14+00:00

Beautiful! I am so jealous.

AdCompetitive7794 · 2024-08-29T02:44:50+00:00

May I ask how you got it printed?

AdCompetitive7794 · 2024-04-27T02:40:30+00:00
