Where are The Lord of the Rings books printed?
What’s currently on sale is printed in China and is of mediocre quality compared to the superb first prints made in Italy – so you’d have to go on the expensive second-hand market to get a copy that’s worthy of your money.
How many volumes of Lord of the Rings?
I personally prefer 3 volume above one volume, in terms of usability. If you are really after the books primarily to read, they cost next to nothing second-hand in a variety of bindings.
Is the table of contents in The Lord of the Rings?
And the answer is: Yes, the table of contents is all bundled together at the beginning, as opposed to having a separate T-o-C for each “volume” (stop sneering, I’ve seen other one-volume e-books where you have to skip through the whole first section to get to the table of contents for the second section). More importantly, the T-o-C actually works.
