We are thrilled to announce Polygon’s latest book: Year of the Ring, an in-depth exploration of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and the books that inspired them.

Lord of the Rings fans are having a good day: First, there was news of the new Gollum film coming in 2026. Now, fans who want to return to Middle-earth in the interim can pick up special editions of the books for more than 50% off.
As part of Amazon’s book sale, the illustrated special edition of The Lord of the Rings is on sale for $106, almost $150 less than its typical list price of $250. Also, the illustrated edition of The Silmarillion — which recounts the entire history of Middle-earth — is discounted 60%, which means readers can pick it up for only $30.
For those looking for even more extended reading on Lord of the Rings, the hardcover edition of The Nature of Middle-Earth, a collection of Tolkien’s final writings on the world, is discounted to $15.
As convenient as digital books can be, they’re never quite able to translate the beauty of the illustrations, which feel so much more lush when not filtered through a screen. So it’s always exciting when there’s a chance to pick up hardcover works like these at more affordable prices.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
This special edition of The Lord of the Ringsfeatures 30 illustrations, maps, and sketches by J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as two removable maps drawn by his son Christopher Tolkien. It comes in a sleek and sturdy slip cover to keep the book in prime condition.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
Compiled from J.R.R. Tolkien’s drafts and notes by his son Christopher Tolkien, The Silmarillion chronicles the history of Middle-earth from before the dawn of time through the end of the War of the Ring. This special edition includes paintings and drawings by Tolkien, a letter written by the author in 1951, and several shorter works, including Ainulindalë, Valaquenta, Akallabêth and Of the Rings of Power.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
Featuring previously unpublished writing from Tolkien in the decades that followed The Lord of the Rings’ publication, The Nature of Middle-Earth gives readers deeper insight into the world, including explorations ranging from Elvish immortality to which characters had beards.

Top 10 Heroes for the Lord of the Rings Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
If you haven’t heard of the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (MESGB) from Games Workshop you are missing out on the most thematic well-written rule system in their entire line up! Those of you who know me, know that I am mainly an Age of Sigmar player who dabbles in 40k, but MESBG is truly a hidden gem amongst the Games Workshop lineup. While being incredibly balanced the game truly captures the thematic nature of the movies and the extended Tolkien universe.

Pokemon is a multimedia juggernaut and its the various forms it comes in that have made it so massively popular for more than two and a half decades.

With its 25 seasons shared between multiple streaming platforms, watching 'em all not only requires thorough research, but it can get pretty expensive too. Hoopla has entered the anime fray to help Pokemon fans on both those counts as the free service is now carrying eight seasons of the show.
