If you're scrambling for a last-minute gift idea for a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, the recently reissued Lord of the Rings and Hobbit coloring books could be a great choice. There's also an official coloring book for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, which just debuted in theaters last week. These are the only official coloring books based on Peter Jackson's two film trilogies and the brand-new anime.

Each of the Lord of the Rings coloring books includes at least 80 pages of unique images of characters like Gandalf and Frodo and iconic locations like Hobbiton and Rivendell to color in. While these are perfect gifts for younger fans, the drawings are detailed enough to be a relaxing, creative activity for adults.
These coloring books are just some of the many new pieces of Lord of the Rings merch available to celebration The War of the Rohirrim's theatrical debut. There are also figures, apparel, wall art, and more collectibles available, all of which you'll find in our big War of the Rohirrim merch buying guide.
You can already preorder The War of the Rohirrim's 4K Limited Edition Steelbook at Amazon for $38. This edition includes 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital versions of the film.
If you're looking for more Lord of the Rings books--including the kind you read instead of draw on--you several of Tolkien's works are discounted at Amazon, including special editions of The Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion, as well as collections of lesser-known stories from Middle-earth, and even art books for the War of the Rohirrim.
Most notably, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion Illustrated Editions are B1G1 50% off. Both of these books feature full-color illustrations by Tolkien himself. These hardcover books also have stained edges, ribbon bookmarks, two fold-out maps each, and beautiful dust jackets. The Hobbit Illustrated Edition isn't eligible for the promotion, but it's still on sale for only $29 at Amazon, which is very close to its Cyber Monday price.
Some of the pricier Tolkien box sets are included in the promotion. For instance, you could get the recently released Lord of the Rings Collector's Edition Box Set for only $36 (was $105) when you buy The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien for $87 (was $125). Both of these gorgeous three-volume box sets released this fall.
