The Silmarillion Easton Press

The story of the Silmarillion tells the history of legendary figures of the First Age of Middle Earth, mostly on the continent of Belariand. When the first Dark Lord Morgoth stole the three Silmarills and fled to his kingdom of Angband, the Noldor elves, led by Feanor and his kin, left Valinor to wage their war against the forces of darkness.

Since its release, many different prints of the Silmarillion have been produced. The Easton Press edition offers an intricate leather cover, illustrations by Tolkien, and sealed packaging. The leather is pretty much 70 percent of the pricing, and it is for book lovers who have space in their intricate libraries for a special read of the stories before the stories of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
