These are the 1995 editions printed by Quality Paperback Book Club (QPBC) by arrangement of Houghton Mifflin - there was also an accompanying "reader's companion" to the books printed at the same time.
This set was only available for a short time via the Book-of-the-Month-Club. They are not overly difficult to track down and since they are book club versions they have no real value except for their oddness.

The cover art is by Richard Beards who did similar art for other books - as well as a lot of commissioned works for any number of things in his distinctive style.

Quality Paperback Book Club is not just a name, the quality of these books really is impressive. The binding, the cover cards and the paper is all really nice. Most particular about this set is that it is still the only softcover version to ever include the tipped in full size foldout two-color maps. That alone makes this set a bit special. These paperbacks are in new unread condition.

Digital photo's available, inquire if interested.

Other Tolkien books available, include both the UK and US editions, original cloth bindings, custom fine bindings, and Signed/Numbered/Limited Editions.
