About this product

Product Information

Set in a time far earlier than Tolkien's master works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this is the epic history of the elves, and the grand story of the creation of Tolkien's magical world. The Lord of the Rings narrated the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils. Never published in the author's lifetime, The Silmarillion is an essential compendium for all Tolkien fans. It will be published in five consecutive volumes, each completely unabridged. The series contains not only the Quenta Silmarillion, but four other short works: the Ainulindale, Valaquenta, Akallabeth and Of the Rings of Power.

All items arrived undamaged in advertised condition except one (the King's Arms). One of these arrived with some of the roof tiles chipped off. I'm not sure if any packaging except the original Styrofoam (not available) could have prevented this.

Fast and in beautiful condition
Slight weathering of the dust cover and a lovely inscription to its previous owner on the inside of the front cover is the only thing which would distinguish it from a new book. I love this book. I was finally replacing a much used and disintegrating mass market paperback with a hardback. I was thrilled to find such a reasonably-priced and beautiful book.

Ok but not great
Description was not very detailed. The book was the edition I looked for but the book overall wasn’t in the condition I would want to shelve in my library. The dust jacket had “age spots” and several small tears - the book jacket looked to be less than pristine around the edges - the pages themselves are nice - I’ll keep it to loan out but will look for another to shelve.

Perspective on Tolkien's Middle Earth
The Silmarillion puts The Lord of the Rings in proper perspective. The LOTR series is a fantastic story, but in the grand scheme of Tolkien's creative mind it occupied only a small part of Middle Earth legend, lore, and history. The Silmarillion begins kind of slow with the creation of Middle Earth (which takes some time but essential), the Elves, Dwarves, and the advent of Morgoth and the creation of the Orcs. You can see how Tolkien was influenced by Greek and Roman mythology, Beowulf, tales of King Arthur, and other myths from a variety of cultures. This book also elaborates upon Sauron and where he came from, how he gained his power, and the creation of the ring. If you are a Tolkien fan, this is a definite read!The Silmarillion puts The Lord of the Rings in proper perspective.

The Silmarillion I bought is accurate and has an amazing map included. I enjoy a good history of Middle earth and this provided the means of reading about it!
