Fresh off the release of a trio of Collector's Editions, The Lord of the Rings is now available in a lavish Deluxe Illustrated Box Set. Released October 1, this might be the most premium version of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved fantasy novel. Amazon is offering a launch deal on The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set that drops the price down to $270.80--yes, that's still quite pricey, but you're saving $54.20 off its $325 list price.

The three-volume set includes hardcover editions bound in cloth and leather. All three books are illustrated by Alan Lee, a popular artist who has contributed to numerous Tolkien books as well as Peter Jackson's LOTR and Hobbit adaptations.
