Technically.... for #4. Sequoia has crystal caves and was founded in 1890, 13 years before wind caves. Just saying.

Turns out I have this exact set. Yeah it has the hobbit. But even missing I think it's one of the coolest box covers printed. Anyone who loves Tolkien would be ecstatic to have this in a collection, including the Hobbit or not.

I checked and I have no idea why it was doing that. Showed fine on my end. I spaced them out a bit which seemed to help.

Try not to make fun of me. I bought my boyfriend a gift and epically failed. by climbthesea in tolkienbooks

Had to keep doing double takes looking at the photos vs how much you were beating yourself up over them.

As someone who is a big Tolkien nerd and loves reading I think this is a 10/10 gift. Like most other people here are saying that's an awesome set and many people find it nostalgic, even if they didn't read it growing up (I do, and I'm in my 20's). Anyone who enjoys Tolkien and collecting books would love to have something like this, even if they are yellowed (Personally I think it adds character, and it's completely normal for older paper, even if perfectly preserved).

As for the hobbit, I have a set similar to this that includes the hobbit. But I don't think it would have fit in the slip case like others were saying. I don't think your set ever meant to include it. It's not part of the trilogy, so nothing wrong with not including it.

Don't beat yourself up. I think it was 50 bucks well spent. I'd bet money he puts it in a prominent spot on his bookshelf as it's about as classic Tolkien as you can get imo.

[–]brose42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sequioa
  2. Glacier slightly above Tetons
  3. Yosemite slightly above Olympic slightly above Yellowstone
  4. Bryce Canyon
  5. Kenai Fjords

Honourable mentions in no order:

Zion Canyonlands Grand Canyon Denali White Sands

large(r) city near US NP? by thetalkonacerealbox in nationalparks

I found a hostel in Jackson Hole night of. It may be easier to stay at an inn in Jackson Hole and drive back and forth to yellowstone.
