Summary: Great combination and even better deal
Comment: There is LOTR the book and LOTR the movies. This wonderful set combines them both. As you probably know the movie production and design was done by WETA workshop and WETA digital. These bookends are produced by WETA workshop so you get a piece of movie memorable AND of course the books everything was based on. It is invaluable to have a hardcover one edition of the Three Books. It will stand the test of time better than any softcover. In fact I had the same edition as a paperback and it fell apart.
The bookends are very nice. As someone mentioned they orginally sold for $60 by themselves and now you can get the whole set for $45. They are very substantial and have a lot of detail to them. Even though you have to strain to see Gandalf's face, they made it very detailed. I checked just to be sure...The Gandalf side also has what look like individually painted flowers and nice lush greenery. On the Bilbo side you have details all the way down to his hobbit feet and the books arranged near the door. This is truly one of the 'steals' you find every now and then on the Internet. I would suggest 'stealing' away with your own edition before they, like Bilbo putting on the ring, go poof and disappear.

Summary: The right bookends for the right book
Comment: Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Ring" trilogy wholeheartedly embraced the film adaptation when it premiered almost three years ago. Now Weta Workshops (who did all the special effects, prosthetics, armor and makeup for the films) have produced a gorgeous bookend set along with the hardcover book.
Chosen by a special poll, the special hardcover edition is pretty nice to look at, but let's face it, the bookends are the best part. They're handpainted and very detailed, capturing the moment when Gandalf waits to be let in, only to be rebuffed by "We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!"
One bookend has Bilbo moving to the door, and the other has Gandalf knocking with his staff on Bilbo's round green door. Fans of the movie will be pleased to know that they really do look like Ian Holm and Ian McKellen. Collectors of Tolkien merchandise will be delighted to put "The Hobbit," "Silmarillion," and other Middle-Earth books beside the trilogy, between these bookends.

Summary: Wonderful Quality!
Comment: I bought it, and fell in love with the quality so much that I ended up buying two more for my sons as gifts when they get older. Hopefully they will love the book as much as I do!
