The Lord of the Rings saga continues in The Two Towers, the second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin--alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
"Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and creatures, from the beauty of Lothl³rien to the horror of Mordor."--Sunday Telegraph

Great product!
This entire set of Tolkien books is lovely. Good quality binding and paper thickness. Each has a ribbon and maps on the inside covers. Excellent hardcover editions. However this series is known for having issues with the foil embossing on either the cover Or the spine. I personally have never found a copy of the two towers that didn’t have the Tolkien monogram messed up on the spine, except for those available in the box set only.
Love this book series. It’s takes me out of my mind that’s always running rampant and transfers me into another world into another place and just puts me at peace and enjoy the book and adventure
For curious newcomers, The Lord of the Rings is one novel, often published in 3 volumes. (This being the second, after "Fellowship" and before "Return of the King".)This novel is spectacular. I hate that I put off reading it for so long. I grew up on the 70's cartoon version of The Hobbit, and of course Larry the Cucumber's "Lord of the Beans", and subsequently the Peter Jackson films. I read The Hobbit in middle school, but was discouraged from attempting to read LotR because it was "long and dry", which is a horrible lie. Long, sure, I believe it's over 1000 pages from the beginning of Fellowship to the end of Return of the King, but dry? Nonsense. It's more entertaining and inspiring that any movie series.10/10 will probably re-read several times.
This volume is simply beautiful; the themed picture on the front and the colored page edges add beauty and character. Not as fancy as some other collector volumes, and no pictures inside, but will do very nicely as a collector item on a budget.
