Description
The Harvard Lampoon's original masterpiece (hem hem) BORED OF THE RINGS now joined together with A.R.R.R. Roberts' equally 'hem hem' worthy THE SODDIT and THE SELLAMILLION. From Wee to the Minty Mountains, from Goddam to Sollum, from Goodgulf to Gandef, two unique comic visions of a masterpiece of 20th century fantasy come together, all for less than 20. Fans of Tolkien's original works are famously completist in their approach to his works, with a proven sales record for the individual titles this box set is the perfect addition to their libraries. And as an added bonus a small guinea pig can easily nest in the empty box.
