Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Middle Earth with this unique audio book box set of J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. This decorative and collectible wooden box has the title logo beautifully burned into the top, front and back. Inside, 9 CDs contain the complete trilogy presented in an audiobook format, featuring a full cast of numerous actors performing the voices of the different characters. This box set is perfect for fans of action, adventure, and fantasy genres. It is a wonderful item for both young adults and adults who want to experience the magic of Middle Earth. The CDs for each book in the trilogy are packaged in different color sleeves, making it easy to keep track of where you are in the series, and an index number has been included at the beginning of each chapter to allow for easy navigation. Red cases for The Fellowship of the Ring, green cases for The Two Towers, and Purple cases for The Return of the King. The audio is re-mastered and digitized from the original 1979 recording. Published by HighBridge Company in 2001. The CDs and jewel cases are like new. I can find no indication that the CDs have ever been played. The jewel cases are pristine, the sleeves are perfectly flat and free of creases or markings, and there is not a scratch to be found on the discs themselves. The wooden box has some glue residue on the ends, and a dent in the bottom.
