So, Obloguy and anyone else who has it, you are telling me that you have 12 books of The History of The Middle Earth?
Thirteen if you count Unfinished Tales. Definitely worth it. There's nothing like having them all lined up on a book shelf. But then, I also own two copies of the Silmarillion so that I don't have to carry it back and forth when I go home on weekends; so maybe if you have a bit more of a life than me you won't want them all. I do recommend reading them all in order, but if you intend to skip around, I particularly recommend Unfinished Tales, The Lays of Beleriand, Morgoth's Ring, The War of the Jewels, and the Peoples of Middle-earth.

I know the HoLotR subseries is available in a box-set, as well as nice individual paperbacks and hardbacks, though I can't say how they're priced.
I wouldn't recommend the box-set, as in place of Sauron Defeated it has The End of the Third Age, which does not include the Notion Club Papers and the Drowning of Anadune.
