Reviving the thread...

I first read The Hobbit and LotR using my mom's books (printed in the 60's), which she never actually read herself. After one read, the poor things got incredibly beat up and my mom didn't want me to wear out her books, so she bought me a set of my own, which are now extremely worn out.

Unfortunately, my mom picked out the movie edition set, which didn't really bother me at the time, but now I really wish I had a set that has pretty illustrations on it. Oh well...the cover shouldn't mean anything. It's the content inside that matters most.
