The reader's companion edition is beautiful, wish I had known about it before I started reading LotR again last year. Thank you for showing us your collection.
Love your collection.Personally, i like reading about first age and before the age, when it all began. Because fourth age is just sad. Elves are leaving, dwarves are slowly dying, basicaly magic is leaving the world and i find that just sad. Anyway have a nice day :)
Oooohh, your Tolkien family has grown indeed in the last months, wonderful =D! And thank you for also showing your non-book collection: it's beautiful. I fell in love with the Crown. Marvelous.
It'll be growing forever, haha. I started collecting a year ago so I still have a long way to go 🤭 Yes, the crown is amazing! One of the best gifts I've ever received ♡
@@ProseAndPetticoats you’ve inspired me to collect myself 😊. Also, I should have followed your advice on 4:23 : I’ve been reading my single-volume 50th anniv. edition, but it’s already showing some damage on the spine. I had to stop reading it 😭
@@ProseAndPetticoats I do have a paperback edition, but it’s 6000 km away from me now... I won’t be able to complete my yearly LotR read anytime soon 😢
@@ProseAndPetticoats Hey I got a little question. About the lord of the rings collection that you said is your favorite. I've seen one boxset similar to it but without the companion book. The covers and the box look pretty much the same, so I figured the content of the books should be similar. I wonder, do they feature any illustration, like maps or artwork in the main story books?
@@ProseAndPetticoats Hey thanks! Well I checked out some review videos of the set on UA-cam. It's rather nice, pretty much what I expected, the maps, the text etc. But still, I'd really like to have those beautiful artworks in the books. Haven't make up my mind yet. Might get the new illustrated edition set with all 4 books including the Hobbit. I'm a new reader of Tolkien works btw. Thanks for the information! :)
@ProseAndPetticoats i've got 9 of them so far, with 3 more coming tomorrow. Each time, i think i have them all, i see another 😅 you're welcome! I'm looking forward to checking out more of your content 😊
Hey, nice collection, it's wonderful that Tolkien speaks to people from every generation, even though he wrote the LOTR nearly a hundred years ago. It speaks to the fact that his stories are in some way true, I think. Have you ever seen the art of Christopher Clarke? He has several LOTR pieces, and they're beautiful. Maybe you could add to your collection. :)
I used to read Tolkien daily when I was younger since leaving college and working full time I haven’t read for fun in years. You make me want to sit back down and read some or my old favorites
Nice collection :) The last book you showed was the one i've got lol, just started reading lotr and loving it, nearly finished the fellowship of the ring :D. Also my favourite illustration is next to page 52 it's Gandalf smoking his pipe next to Frodo.
Have you ever read the Ranger's Apprentice books? They are apparently quite popular in the Netherlands and Flanders. I have a Dutch copy of one of them; De Grijze Jager, Boek 3. If you like archery, then I would definitely recommend them.
I commented earlier (but it seems to have disappeared) that I have a very special edition you might be interested in seeing, I'm working on adding a video about it soon. Thanks 🤠
I just got the B&N published Leather Bound Cassic 'Encyclopedia of Tolkien' by David Day and 'The Atals of Middle Earth' by Karen Wynn Fonstad, great reference companions for all of The Middle Earth books, which I will eventually have in full.. Next I'm going to grab the Alan Lee illustrated boxed set edition of The Hobbit and LOTR, since I lost my original copies in a house fire years ago.. Happy reading 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@ProseAndPetticoatsit most certainly was 😔😔 but things can be replaced, no one was hurt thankfully 🙏🏼🙏🏼.. And silver lining, my collection wasn't extensive to say the least, it happened when I was only about 17 years old, I'm now 31. And it has given me the opportunity to start a really nice collection... Losing old things or having something end is sad but finding new things and beginnings are exciting 🙂🙂💚💚
Welcome back :) Sadly my only Tolkien acquisition over the last few months has been the purchase of the Unfinished Tales deluxe edition ( by Harper Collins ). Oh, and as I know you like Brandon Sanderson's work, I managed to grab a signed leatherbound copy of The Way of Kings. Which of the Harper Collins editions for LOTR do you prefer ?
Haha, thank you! The Stormlight Archive books are on my shelf (got them for Christmas) and I'm so excited to read them. So nice you've got the leatherbound! They're amazing. I don't know which one I prefer 🤔 I guess I should look them up to decide haha :)
zalig ! i read all the harry potter books a while back and really enjoyed reading them. im starting my wheel of time collection now and ordered 2 boxed tolkien sets (the tales of middle earth and the hobit and lord of the rings boxed set) i will most likely get them all again in dutch aswell. loved the video
Nice my collection is very similar you need the big all in one for the bookshelf, the illustrated version to look at and the soft back 3 book set for reading... Im looking at getting the 6 book version to make it easier to hold up when reading in bed. Love the crown 😀
Mmm, interesting and eclectic.I also have a number of issues of Tolkien in hardback editions. My favourite would have to be a De Luxe boxed edition of the complete Lord of the Rings printed on India Paper - as fine as rice paper ( Bible paper ) printed by George Allen and Unwin 1969 - bought new at that time !!!!!!! I also have a Harper Collins LOTR with evocative illustrations by the extraordinary Alan Lee, with his personal greetings :) I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Alan Lee - gosh, many, many years ago now, when he visited Merton College, Oxford, where Tolkien held a mastership for some time. I am so pleased that you buy and collect hard back editions - well done. When you reach my age, and are able to look over your library of thousands of beautiful hard back editions, as I do, collected over many, many decades it will give you the frisson of satisfaction that I still experience. You are an extraordinary young lady, and I appreciate the time spent in making this video - thank you :)
What a kind, heartwarming comment! Those editions sound wonderful, especially that edition signed by Alan Lee. Wow, I'm a little jealous! (In a good way, haha.) Yes, building a collection takes time indeed. I get so happy just looking at my current collection. I went to to Oxford last year, being a Tolkien fan I had to visit it. I have a video about it, if you're interested! Thank you so much for stopping by, sir.
@@ProseAndPetticoats You are very, very welcome :) After writing my comment, it occurred to me I have one other Tolkien book in my library. After a bit of a search, it is " Farmer Giles of Ham " - a beautiful but small hard back edition, again published by George Allen and Unwin - first edition 1949 - my copy, Fifth Impression 1966, with delightful illustrative embellishments by Pauline Dianne Baynes.Not Tolkien`s best work I would have to say, written mostly for children, although it contains some rather graphic elements which these days would most likely be considered unsuitable for young children. I am so very pleased to read that you have visited Oxford - it is now looking absolutely superb after decades of dedicated exterior cleaning and restorative work on most of the classic buildings. Unfortunately, I am now of an age where long distance travel presents certain obstacles to make any further visits unlikely - but there have been some delightful videos place on UA-cam. By all means, I would consider it a privilege if you were to post your visit to Oxford online, should you have the time - it would be most appreciated - take care :)
@@ProseAndPetticoats Thank you for your kind thought, but I am well resigned to various limits that incipient old age puts on one. I spent three quarters of my adult life within University Oxford, so I am well satisfied. Thank you for providing the Oxford link, you are a very kind young lady, and it is most appreciated :)
Nice collection! And I agree: you could easily be an elf. My wife, too. I’m somewhere in between Gimli, Wormtongue, and Smeagol. OK, I’m exaggerating: more like Shelob. :)
What is that crown made of? Pewter? Also, in that first box set the books looked really thin. Were they abridged versions? It's a nice collection of books and facsimiles.
Gorgeous collection! 😍 I did a video like this a while ago - I have a similar size collection, but with totally different editions - and it’s my most viewed video ever, like 10 x more than the 2nd most viewed! 😆
I’m actually in the process of reading The Lord of the Rings for the very first time. I just finished The Two Towers about an hour ago. You should do Tolkien book reviews. I’d love to hear what your thoughts are about The Hobbit and LOTR.
I'll sub , such a cozy channel and I have just finished movies of LOTR for 1st time . KInda late to party but anyways , I will start the books in upcoming times , LETS GOO .
Thank you! Oh, I bought the sword in a geeky store in the heart of Brussels (Belgium), but I'm sure you can find it online. It's Thorin Oakenshield's dwarven sword ☺
No, you don't ☺ It can help to keep a dictionary at hand though for all the names or things you don't understand. I always find it helpful 🖤 (I like using the atlasses by David Day, or the internet) ;)
@@ProseAndPetticoats he dat is jammer. Ik ben een groot dan van de films en wil graag een keer de boeken ervan lezen. Heb jij nog tips voor mooie LOTR en hobbit boekensets in het Nederlands?
@@jessedejonge9248 Helaas niet. Ik heb vooral Engelse edities omdat ik de schrijfstijl zo aangenamer vind lezen. Geen ervaring met Nederlandse edities dus :(
@@Soundtracks92 Yes, I was quite dissapointed when receiving my 60tha edition because it had not the golden letters. Same problem with my unfinished tales edition. The new copies wich are printed in China instead of Italy have dustjackets withouth gold :(
It is interesting that those editions are silver instead of gold. The deluxe are gold but in my personal reading experiments sometimes silver is also necessary. You know the HarperCollins logo has both fire and ice/water symbols. I think that the silver is the water and the gold is the fire.
Actually I should point out that they are releasing the main book in December. The Unfinished Tales and also the Silmarillion of 2021 are unbelievably nice and with lots of pictures but I don't know anything about this book yet. The old version from 2004 (50th anniversary or whatever) does not have pictures but these other two most recent do and there's also a Middle Earth new release in October which is bound to be good: www.amazon.ca/Lord-Rings-J-R-Tolkien/dp/0008471290/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=lord+of+the+rings+deluxe&qid=1627339084&sr=8-1
I just received my Tolkien Boxset, the one that is your favorite , I like the art on the dustjackets ! why is this your favorite boxset? must say that I never liked the Lord of the rings movies, I have my own imagination for all the characters and places in the story and the characters in the movies I do not like though Gandalf has a good figure thank you and greetings from Limburg Netherlands
Could you tell me what would be the best approach to sell my 25th Anniversary collection box set(3 soft covered books in holder with souvenir book) circa 1979.
I made the original film prop of that crown and although I haven't seen these ones in person they look like a very good representation. The real one took me a week to make (not including poor Jasmine having to resize it at the last minute!) Kind regards from NZ/Middle Earth 😊
6:23 You probably know this, but I'm going to say it anyway. They're called Argonath. P.S. I have a pretty big map of Middle-Earth that I came about quite accidentally. I framed it immediately. It really gives my room a Tolkien-ish vibe.
Your hair is so damn pretty (you're just very pretty in general). Is that your natural hair colour? Seems like it (your brows are also red) but it's so shiny and red it looks unreal. It's kinda how I imagined Kvothe's hair.. P.s. Ben je een Nederlander of een Belg?

Belgium! ;) Aww, that's very kind. Thank you. It's not my natural colour though ☺
Such an amazing collection! And a very beautiful woman! 🥰
You're so kind. Thank you!
How is Unfinished Tales and The Silm the same size as The Hobbit in that edition?!
Hello. If you can give me the time stamp I will check it out for you!
Awesome ✌️
Thank you!
Beautifull
Been looking all over for that elvish crown 😐

One thing about Tolkien's books, they help build up one's muscles! Huff...urgh!

You shouldn't post videos like this unless you want sweaty Tolkien fans asking for your immediate hand in marriage...

I was expecting a mean comment 😂 I'll keep it in mind haha.
