The one-of-a-kind wood shelf is crafted from solid wood with design selected by Peter Jackson.

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG – Our heroes escape the giant Spiders and Wood-elves of Mirkwood before encountering the mysterious Bard, who smuggles them into Lake-town. Finally reaching the Lonely Mountain, they confront the Dragon Smaug. THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES – The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed their homeland, but face the consequences of unleashing Smaug. As five great armies go to war, Bilbo fights for his life, and the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must unite or be destroyed.
- THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING – With the help of a courageous fellowship of friends and allies, Frodo Baggins embarks on a perilous mission to destroy the legendary One Ring. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS – In the middle chapter of this historic movie trilogy, the Fellowship is broken but its quest to destroy the One Ring continues.

@SteelCollz @srngsmb is it possible for either of you to post more pictures of the set? I'd like to see what the motif on the cover of each film's book is, as well as find out whether the leather is actually brown as advertised, or a black as it appears in your photos.

Thanks!

I second that! More pics would be great! Maybe also a few of the inside of the red book? Only if you have the time of course, im dying to see more of the pages!

@srngsmb is the person to ask solely. My pic is courtesy of a customer from Amazon. :thumbs:
 
Just got mine in the mail and I must say, this feels really high quality. If there had never been so many double dips already, this would be sought after more heavily I believe.

The package is considerably heavy from the wood. The books themselves have the softest feel to the leather which makes it feel very high-end IMO. I do wish there was more going on in the bottom compartment but the notebook itself is an interesting read through to see pictures and concept arts. And it's a complete travesty that 3D wasn't included seeing as how this should be the definitive version to own (based on cost).

Thanks for the pics. I've added a note linking to them in the OP.
 
Hmm, I actually just cancelled my UK order the other day. I still have a Amazon Germany order for a cheap price. Really wondering if the German release is indeed in German or just the pictures. Seems it would be easier just to release them all the same way.

From what Ive read and heard it is in German. @DarkChild am I right?
 
at time of writing, Zavvi claim (via SMS) to have 50 in stock. it's more expensive than the original amazon UK price.

mine arrived yesterday, will get unboxing photos up soon, for those interested.
