The Next Lord of the Rings Deluxe Edition Book Is Available to Preorder Now
About
Overview
The Fall of Númenor Deluxe Edition: And Other Tales From the Second Age of Middle-Earth joins the other three massive and gorgeous Tolkien tomes. This special hardcover edition of the stories that take place before The Fellowship of the Ring is available to preorder now on Amazon for $75 before it releases November 10 of this year. It's timed perfectly to release around Prime Video's third season of The Rings of Power, which is considered to be set during the Second Age on the LotR timeline. The 352-page special edition of the Fall of Númenor is its most premium and attractive printing yet. Featuring illustrations from Alan Lee, who has illustrated Tolkien books for years, the stories were originally edited by Christopher Tolkien after his father crafted the tales. It takes places during The Tale of Years era before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, following the Elves of Eregion as they're tasked by the Dark Lord Sauron to forge the Rings of Power. The crimson cover and gold sprayed edges are gorgeous and will pop on your bookshelf next to the other three Deluxe Editions, and the Elvish text on the cover is a nice detail. Aside from the collection of stories, you'll also receive a full-color foldout map and a removable art card. The Fall of Numenor Deluxe Edition joins almost a dozen other premium illustrated editions of J.R.R. Tolkien's entire saga, which make excellent gifts for Middle-Earth fans. You can find multiple versions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as the Silmarillion supplemental companion book. Myles Obenza is a freelance writer for IGN.
