Great news for J.R.R. Tolkien fans! The coveted Complete History of Middle-earth: Collector’s Box Set, which quickly sold out earlier this week, is back in stock at Amazon with an astonishing discount. This monumental three-book collection, spanning 5,440 pages, is now available for just $80.65, a phenomenal 68% off its original $250 price tag. This nearly $170 markdown is the best deal Amazon has offered on this set since its 2020 release. Given how quickly it sold out previously, we highly recommend grabbing it while you can! To take advantage of this incredible offer, along with many other J.R.R. Tolkien and Lord of the Rings book deals available this weekend, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member.
For those looking for an alternative, all four of the stunning 2024 hardcover box sets, which collect The History of Middle-earth and The Silmarillion, are also currently on sale with discounts of up to 66% off.

While the Complete History of Middle-earth box set offers the most economical way to acquire all 12 volumes, the 2024 box sets are also incredibly appealing. These stunning collections boast vibrant, fully illustrated dust jackets and elegant display cases. For those who prefer a more classic aesthetic, the reversible dust jackets also feature the original graphics with solid-color backgrounds.
All 12 volumes are included across these four individual sets, and choosing this option comes with a few bonus books. Publisher William Morrow thoughtfully included The Silmarillion as the first book in Box Set 1. This iconic work, second only to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit in popularity, is often considered part of The History of Middle-earth, and for good reason—early drafts and portions of the 1977 classic are found within the 12-volume series. Additionally, Box Set 1 contains Unfinished Tales, and the final set features a comprehensive book-length index.
This summer, William Morrow expanded its line of decorative Tolkien hardcover box sets with Tolkien Myths and Legends, a four-book collection now on sale for $53.70 (originally $125), and The Great Tales of Middle-earth, which comprises Tolkien’s last three novels and is available for $75 (originally $125).
