The Collector's Edition of Tolkien's Silmarillion Drops to a New Low Price Ahead of Prime Day
Before Amazon Prime Day kicks off for 2025, a handful of items have already started having their prices reduced early. One such item is J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion Collector's Edition, a nice hardcover printing of the iconic account of Middle-Earth pre-Hobbit. It's currently 56% off, sitting pretty at $15.51 - its lowest price we've ever seen. Also on sale is the massive and beautiful hardcover Silmarillion Deluxe Illustrated Edition, which includes over 50 paintings, drawings, and maps by J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The Silmarillion Collector's Edition Is at its Lowest Price Ever For Prime DayWhile smaller and less extravagant than its Illustrated Deluxe Edition cousin, the Collector's Edition is still a beautiful addition to any bookshelf or LOTR collection. The hardcover feels premium, with clean stained edges and foil-stamped words, and comes with an attached ribbon bookmark. The cover itself depicts the two trees of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion, set beside the three Silmarils. This is the most affordable this edition of the book has ever been, so if you've had your eye on it for a while, now's your chance. Like most Prime Day deals, however, you will only get access to this price with an Amazon Prime subscription.It's 384 pages and only 8.25-inches tall, so you won't have a hard time finding a good spot for it.The Silmarillion Deluxe Illustrated Edition Is Also on SaleThis gorgeous oversize hardcover Illustrated Deluxe Edition contains the same stories as any other version of the Silmarillion and then some. At 448 pages, it is the most extensive version, and comes with dozens of pieces of artwork from J.R.R Tolkien. This might be better suited as a coffee table centerpiece than a bookshelf item, but it's undeniably impressive nonetheless and makes for a great gift for Lord of the Rings fans. Being over half-off right now makes it the perfect time to pick one up, and both this and the Collector's Edition pair nicely with the new LEGO Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook, which apparently is the subject of some funny discourse online. Check back for more Prime Day deals as the dates get ever so closer. Myles Obenza is a freelance writer for IGN. Follow him on Bluesky @mylesobenza.bsky.social.
